(3) K-3 Illustrated by Pranas T. Naujokaitis. A slapstick but thorough investigation, told in jaunty rhymes, of all the ways in which humans and animals emit bodily gasses. Adults, too, might learn quite a bit from this instructive and playful emporium of gastrointestinal erudition. For instance, "Here's one of nature's stranger facts: / We cannot burp on our backs!" Two pages of facts and trivia are included.
