Summary: Incredible and educational--highly recommended!!
Comment: This book is fascinating in how it discusses the many complexities of the human body; i could hardly put it down. It gives a recipe for such struggles as diarrhea (e.g. 1/2 tsp. honey, pinch of salt, and 1 cup apple juice together then stir & drink it down). Other trivia include such details as to how long the small intestine is (23 ft.) or when you sleep you burn 65 calories an hour. Another fun one for all of us stress living humans, "stress can cause the muscles to tighten making you want to "go". Humans have 16 million smell sensors; a rabbit has 100 million. Definitely a book all ages can appreciate and "wow" over as we appreciate the wonderful machine, the human body that we live in.

Summary: THIS BOOK IS REVOLTING
Comment: As a teacher, I like to preview books before I buy them, so I naturally previewed this one from the library while preparing to do a thematic unit on health and nutrition. I could not believe how DISGUSTING this book was. It does not take a serious look at health, instead it makes fun of normal bodily functions. For example, the book talks about how the Romans ate flamingo tongues and other revolting delicacies, filling themselves until they could eat no more, then would make themselves throw up and eat again. There is a whole section JUST on throwing up and it's not an educational section! It also discussed constipation and other subjects that kids any age would not be able to seriously look at without laughing and being embarassed. This book is NOT a children's book, it is more like adult humor. I strongly urge fellow teachers and parents to avoid this book when trying to teach or enforce health and nutrition, it is definitely NOT suitable for the classroom.
