ReviewsFilled with colorful photographs and illustrations, these volumes will entice the reader with a love of the gross, but are definitely not for the squeamish. Filled with valuable information geared towards the younger reader, these books can also entertain. Students need to be aware of these topics, and this series meets this need well, addressing the often complicated issues in language appropriate to young children and providing vivid illustrations and photographs. The information is well organized and clear, written in a text size and layout appropriate to those students, and also fitting the need for a read-aloud in a science curriculum. Recommended. -Sara Rofofsky Marcus, Librarian, Queensborough Community College, Bayside, New YorkLibrary Media ConnectionMay/June 2010, This book explains what causes itches and scratches on your skin. The photos are great and go with text on the page. The facts and descriptions are accurate and consistent with the story and setting. Recommended--Marla Scofield, Ruth Fyfe Elementary Clark County School District 2/22/10, "Itches and Scratches" introduces you to dandruff, head lice, heat rash, and other things that make you itch. - B. Monroe, Norview Middle School Norfolk Public Schools 3/15/2010, Though each of these titles closes with lists of recommended books and Web sites, instruction takes a back seat to laff-inducing facts ("When you sneeze, a shower of mucus blasts through the air. It can travel 11 feet"), accompanied by a mix of gross cartoons and sometimes nauseating photos. As the topical coverage isn't broad enough, and because illustrations are frequently reused within and among volumes, consider these guilty pleasures.
