The Really Gross Body Book

Description

How much snot do we swallow in a year? How many times do we fart in a lifetime? Is it really true that some people use urine as mouthwash? Packed with fun facts on farts, snot, vomit, wee and spit, this book really is gross.

She is also an experienced prop maker and has worked on sets of films including Pirates of the Caribbean and Phantom of the Opera.

Definitely written with children in mind, this gruesomely gross book abounds with fun facts on farts, snot, vomit, wee, spit and more bodily excretions (are there any more?). And as if that isn't enough, children will revel in the flaps and pop-ups which bring yet another level of grossness to the book. Children will be fascinated to learn how much snot we swallow in a year, how many times we fart in a lifetime, and whether it's really true that some people use urine as a mouthwash - and then they will delight in sharing the grizzly facts with any adult foolish enough to have remained in the vicinity after handing this book over! It will fascinate children with the clever presentation and abundance of facts - and they will learn a lot about the human body along the way. Great fun! * Parents in Touch *
