Dung Beetles, Slugs, Leeches, and More: The Yucky Animal Book

Description: Some animals do really yucky things. Did you know that there are lizards that squirt blood from their eyes? Did you think bedbugs were just part of a bedtime rhyme? Learn fun and yucky science facts from this veteran science-writing team. Slimy fish, poop-eating beetles, and blood-sucking bats; what more could you ask for?!

Review Quotes: Colorful layouts attract the eye, while the stomach is delightfully turned by the descriptive cartoon illustrations and blunt language in this book. Scatology is not a word students may use... but say poop, and they will dive right into the subject to learn more about its use for offensive defense, food, and shelter. Middle school kids will love reading about slime, puke, and poop--the tools of survival for some creatures.
