Reviews"*This all-too-informative study deserves the wild popularity it will without doubt acquire." -- Booklist, starred review "Engaging, informative and downright disgusting." -- Kirkus Reviews "Expect this one to be passed around and pored over." -- School Library Journal "Carried away on a swift-flowing stream of body fluids, medical ineptitude, and O'Malley's deliciously snarky artwork, kids will agree they got exactly what they came for." -- BCCB

Great Book
I’m really enjoying the book “How They Croaked”. I loved studying history when I was in school and this book is some history, some science and great stories. The art work is fabulous. Also, the way the author list the famous people chronology really works well. I highly recommend this book.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
