Oh Yuck! - The Encyclopedia of Everything Nasty (Hardcover, Turtleback School & Library ed.)

Kids love stuff that's gross. From the liquids, solids, and gases -- especially the gases! -- of their own bodies to the creepy, crawly, slimy, slithery, fetid, and feculent phenomena in the world at large. "Oh, Yuck!" brings together, in one book, all the good things about some of the baddest things on Earth.

Exhaustively researched and impeccably scientific, yet written with a lively lack of earnestness, "Oh, Yuck!" is an ants to zits encyclopedic compendium covering people, animals, insects, plants, foods, and more. Here you'll find out why vomit smells; what pus is all about; and why maggots adore rotting meat.

With hundreds of cartoon illustrations and real-life photographs, "Oh, Yuck!" is the complete guide to the underbelly of life.
