Synopsis
From mucus to vomit, and farts to fungus, Gross Universe proves that gross stuff isn't always pretty, but it sure is fascinating., "Gross Universe" is an eye-opening, sometimes stomach-turning exploration of the many physical things about animals, plants, and -- of course -- young readers themselves that often go politely unmentioned. From mucus to vomit, from farts to phlegm, nothing is off-limits. With topics including sweat, mold, pus (a Perfectly Understandable Secretion), our gross microscopic friends, and even fossilized dinosaur poop, the book holds myriad delights waiting to be discovered. Irreverent illustrations enliven the amazing parade of weird scientific facts. Special features include Games You Should Never Play (such as Komodo Kissing Booth), gross activities (example: create a Dandruff Landing Pad), and Scientist A and Scientist B, recurring characters whose bickering back and forth helps elucidate the facts. "Gross Universe" reveals a universe that may not always be pretty, but is sure to keep children engrossed, laughing, and learning., Hold onto your lunches -- author Jeff Szpirglas is ready to talk about the scientific facts behind our disgusting world. From mucus to vomit, from farts to phlegm, nothing is off limits. It's not always pretty, but it sure is fascinating. Find out why we need scabs, how spit keeps our teeth clean and why pus is a Perfectly Understandable Secretion. With his wicked sense of humor, Szpirglas explores the topics that we find revolting -- and kids find irresistible--and uncovers a whole lot of amazing science along the way. Chapters include Sickening Skin, Healing Horror Stories, Spectacular Stenches, Things that Ooze, and Foul Fossils. Irreverent illustrations add bold visual verve to the "engrossing" text. Gross Universe will keep young audiences laughing and learning as they uncover the science behind some of life's more odious occurrences., A hilarious and eye-opening new look at the world around us. Gross Universe is an eye-opening and sometimes stomach-turning journey of exploration into all of our own gross inner workings, and some of the more nauseating tales from nature and the world around us. The humor of MAD magazine meets good old hard scientific fact. Always entertaining, in fact downright hilarious, author Jeff Szpirglas takes a scientific look at the many things about our physical selves and the other animals and plants around us that often go unmentioned. From our gross microscopic friends to our skin, hair, sweat, and other malodorous excretions, plus mucus, mold, acne, pus (a Perfectly Understandable Secretion), explosions, fossilized vomit, gas, and myriad other delightful subjects, this is science that will be sure to capture the attention of a young reader. Szpirglas does not expose the sweeter side of life, but will keep young audiences enraptured, laughing, and learning. It may not always be pretty, but it's definitely fascinating to uncover the scientific reasons for processes that happen to us and around us.
