Body Bugs: Univited Guests on Your Body

32 pp. | Capstone | December, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-1-4296-3112-9 $23.99
(4) 4-6 Fact Finders: Extreme! series. This book's gross-out factor is its draw: full-color, close-up views of blood-sucking, pooping lice and burrowing blood flukes are accompanied by scientific and historical facts and figures about bacteria, parasites, and the diseases they cause. Crowded pages make the text difficult to follow, but the reasons for good hygiene come across loud and clear. Reading list, websites. Glos., ind.
