All About Scabs
$13.95
"Some suggest that the perfect gift for 5-year-olds is a box of bandages, because they are preoccupied with bodies and their protection. This, then, is the best book to accompany that gift."- The Tampa Tribune-Times "As with other books in this series of Japanese imports, the topic has plenty of kid appeal, and the very grossness of the presentation just adds to the allure." - Booklist "The information strikes a perfect balance between education and entertainment, leaving readers with a sufficient dose of each." - Curled Up Kids Recommended for ages 4-6 years

Breasts
Part of the My Body Science Series, this beginning science book, appeals to parents who want to introduce their children to normal human anatomy and physiology. "I was pleasantly surprised when I read the text...discusses the benefits of breast milk and the experience of breast feeding through the eyes of both mother and baby...a wonderful tool for moms and dads to use to explain the process and the experience of breast feeding to baby's siblings. I wish I had it when I was nursing my youngest child. It was difficult for me to find words that my children could understand when discussing it. This author has managed to give moms and dads the simple explanation they need." - Kaboose Recommended for ages 5-9 years
The Holes In Your Nose
$13.95
"Here, presented in the very matter-of-fact, detailed and mischievous way that children themselves tend to explore such issues, is everything a child could want to know about the nose and what comes out of it. The text, delightfully illustrated with bold, funny sketches, moves quickly through holes in people's and animal's noses, hairs in noses, stuffy noses, dripping noses and bleeding noses. Parents may blanch or stifle chuckles when the text winds up for the single most interesting aspect of noses from a child's-eye view. Complete with arrows, the illustrations detail how this transformation occurs, while the text continues: 'Boogers are made from dirt, so they're dirty. Even if you line them up neatly like this, they're still dirty.' The Holes in Your Nose...perfectly reflects the sensibilities of a culture in which there is nothing wrong with telling people that they've gained weight and that there are pimples on their faces. After that, frankness about the mundane workings of the body is par for the course." - The New York Times Book Review Recommended for ages 3-5 years
Who's Hiding $13.95
Who's hiding? Who's crying? Who's backwards? Look carefully! Is it dog, tiger, hippo, zebra, bear, reindeer, kangaroo, lion, rabbit, giraffe, monkey, bull, rhino, pig, sheep, hen, elephant, or cat? Can you tell? Look again...18 fun-loving animals can be found on each question-posing page, sending readers into an up-close, attention-to-detail discovery. "A challenging test of memory and observation perfect for your preschoolers." - ProperNoun
The Gas We Pass
$13.95
"With a title like this, expect no surprises within. The latest Japanese import by Kane/Miller continues in the same vein as Everyone Poops and The Holes in Your Nose, exploring yet another subject generally considered taboo. Brevity reigns in both illustration (cartoons and diagrams tinted with swaths of clashing color) and text (which doesn't even attempt to be subtle). Both informative and blunt, the book provides young readers with solid facts as well as plenty to snicker about, including some sage advice ('Don't hold them in - pass that gas!') that will send parents everywhere running for the air freshener." - Publishers Weekly "Interesting stuff! It is written simply and to the point. No fancy, confusing explanations of this oft-experienced bodily function. Instead, it explains this phenomenon in a way that a young child can understand and even find amusing." - Kaboose Recommended for age 4-6 years
Contemplating Your Belly Button
$11.95
"This Japanese import features strange but fun illustrations which cover bellybutton basics, exploring how bellybuttons are formed and explaining the rudiments of birth for the very young. Tettchan looks at his bellybutton, which sticks out, and receives an education on its placement. Pair this with others in a basic anatomy/sex education set for beginners." - The Children's Bookwatch Recommended for ages 3-5 years
$13.95
Everyone Poops
"Everyone Poops by Taro Gomi is part biology textbook, part sociological treatise and all celebration of a very natural process. Both my daughters begged me to read the book over and over again. They marveled at the enormity of the elephant's poop and searched with the skill of a scientist for the tiny specks which represent bug poop. The text is simple and straightforward but not without humor. 'An elephant makes a big poop,' the book begins. 'A mouse makes a tiny poop. A one-hump camel makes a one-hump poop, And a two-hump camel makes a two-hump poop. Only kidding!' The colorful illustrations are eye-catching and deceptively detailed. The poop of each animal species is very distinctive in size, shape and color…A book which doesn't have any preachy overtones but merely explains where and how each living creature poops seems to work for my two-year-old. In fact, it's number one on the bathroom reading list at our house." - The Expositor "...a great accompaniment to potty training. Young people need to accept their bodily functions, and if happy and colorful books like this help the cause, then I am all for it." - Kaboose Recommended for ages 0-3 years
