5 out of 5 stars Oh, Yuck Book   August 10, 2008
Donna Johannsen (Olympia, WA)
Though the cover is gross, we enjoyed the author's other book Oh, Yuck so we purchased this one. These books are filled with fun and interesting information. The author has a great sense of humor and presents topics in a way that is fun to read. My child, and even adults we showed the books to, were fascintated. Books like this help make science and history interesting.

I bought this for your typical 11 year old boy. He loved it, I'm not sure how much mom did. That is one very clever way to get boys that age to read a book on their own. And they learn a thing or two along the way. Heck I would have like this when I was a kid. Remember boys are going to be gross either way, might as well make it educational too!


4 out of 5 stars Great gift for a boy   February 1, 2008
Texan d'Acadien (I live here)
Buying gifts for boys ages 8 to 12 is difficult. This book is a great gift for a boy in that age group. I read it, too, and was interested in the information it contained - although it is kinda gross.

I gave this to my grandson and nephew both age 9 for Christmas and they were reading it together and laughing on Christmas day. One of the mothers was very happy because she can't get her son to read , I think it was a success.
