This book had really gross things in it. It grossed me out for example their were things about your skin and how it is layered, stuff about bugs like what lives on your skin. There is lots more that is really gross. If you like science and gross then I would check this book out it's very interesting.

Kevin was giggling the entire time I read this book. It was really interesting and fun, although admittedly a fair amount of the humor was of the gross variety. I did have to cut it short about 2/3 of the way through, though, because they started talking about things like bugs and rashes on your skin and I could tell it was freaking Heidi out.

If you like your learning spread thick with gross photos, cartoons, and funny facts, then this book is for you! Read all five books in the Gross Body Science series and impress your friends with the amazing things you know about the human body.

There's a picture of a man without a face AND necrotizing fasciitis on pages 40 and 41, so you know this book is full of awesome.
