Full Text Reviews:
School Library Journal - 11/01/2011 Gr 2–3—Achy Body discusses bruises, scrapes, broken bones, stomach- and earaches, and sore throats. Messy Body covers tears, sweat, earwax, snot, pee, poo, and vomit. The third title addresses burps, hiccups, farts, sneezes, and coughs. The last one focuses on how we grow and includes hair, nails, muscles, bones, and growing pains. The texts have a consistent voice, although no one title has any significant amount of detail. The writing is generally clear, although at times readers may think that basic information is missing. For example, the stomachaches section of Achy Body does not mention vomiting, although that is likely to be the first thing youngsters in this age group would think of. And Messy Body does not specifically mention a virus or stomach flu as a possibility for the symptom. Each spread ends with fun facts and/or a true-false question, and the cartoon illustrations are colorful but not particularly informative. The books have no tables of contents or indexes.—Stephanie Farnlacher, Trace Crossings Elementary School, Hoover, AL - Copyright 2011 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
