Illustrated by
Michael Slack.
These over-the-top volumes include a decent amount of information about the human body, hidden among the gags and groaners (including a string of synonyms for flatulence). The recipe for fake snot included in Crust and other research suggestions invite reader participation. Photographs, graphics, and microscope-enhanced images on brightly colored pages compete with the texts. "Gross Facts" and other sidebars appear throughout. Reading list. Bib., glos., ind. Review covers these Gross Body Science titles: Hawk & Drool, Rumble & Spew, and Crust & Spray.
