Horrible Science: Disgusting Digestion Kindle Edition

I'm an editor. I write for kids. I occasionally review and recommend kids' books. And I have a son who is an extremely precocious reader. So trust me when I say that Nick Arnold's books are AWESOME. They score a knockout "10" across the board because-they're FUN! Oh my goodness, I couldn't think of a more brilliant way to hook kids on science than to approach it the way Arnold does, with cartoons, funny stories, and facts that make kids say "Eww-WWW! with a smile on their faces.-the science is excellent. My son has learned so much from reading (and re-reading and re-re-reading) this book.-Arnold doesn't talk down to kids. Sure, he's adding cartoons and playing up the sensational bits, but he's not dumbing down either the subject or his vocabulary. I could kiss him for it.-Finally, the books are fun for adults to read, too. (Mostly because he's not dumbing down the subject or his vocabulary...see above.) I love reading chapters of this book with my son.So why, then, should parents beware? Because your kids will get hooked on this book. They'll start begging for other books in the series. And they will start reciting disgusting facts from it EVERYWHERE. My son, for example, has entertained us with tidbits about vomit while we were driving down the road; expounded about gas during restaurant dinners, and treated visitors to factoids about saliva, among other things.Yeesh. So beware, parents! But enjoy the sensation of seeing your kids get hooked on science.

Disgusting digestion by Nick Arnold. Do you like books about nasty digestion? Well let me tell you if you do not like gross stuff such as how your body brakes everything down This book is not for you. Nick Arnold is a great writer he tells you interesting facts bout the body that are funny He'll make you fall off the edge of your seat in laughter. I can't forget the great illustrations of Tony de Saulles as the book would not be the same with out them .The only thing is you don't really want to have a quiz half way into the book so that didn't go down to well. I think this book is suitable for people aged 10-15 and it's a great value for money book as it is only £3.99. on the whole this is a great book.

A fascinating look at the human body. Great for weird people and some parts may have you reaching for a bucket a great book if you have the stomach for it!

Amusing but not as helpful as I’d expected in teaching Digestion. Lots of facts that don’t really help move the learning along.

Bought for my Grandson - who absolutely loves all the Horrible books! I will probably end up buying them all, he's a great reader; but that's maybe because I taught him to read and write myself! He wouldn't be reading these book if it was left to the school!
