Blood and Goo and Boogers Too!: A Heart-Pounding Pop-Up Guide to the Circulatory and Respiratory Systems
(4)
K-3
Pop-ups, pull-tabs, and lift-the-flaps abound in this book's five spreads presenting information about the human circulatory and respiratory systems. Some pop-ups obscure text, requiring readers to bend (and weaken) them. The facts are accurate, but they're scattered around the pages, behind flaps, and under foldouts; there's little cohesion though a good deal of fun.

YA
Vacationing in rural England, Sam recites a rhyme that awakens a wizard from a two-thousand-year sleep. Together with a girl named Charly, Sam and the wizard fight the malevolent Malifex (the "Maker of Evil") in order to restore the balance of good and evil in the world. The plot--which involves a quest for enchanted objects--is familiar, but the contemporary, sarcastic voices of Sam and Charly enliven the story.
