Gross Things On Buses Trains And Planes

It's not possible for people to walk, or even drive, to many places. Buses, trains, and airplanes get us where we need to go. Unfortunately, wherever large groups of people gather, there are sure to be a lot of germs—and other unpleasant things, too. The more we learn about these things, the more we can keep healthy and adopt behaviors to keep others healthy as well. The gross things hidden from view, or impossible to see with the human eye, on several modes of transportation are discovered through accessible text and engaging, fun facts.

Despite how cute and cuddly pets are, they are pretty gross too. Anyone who has seen drool trailing from a dog's mouth or a cat cough up a fur ball will agree. Readers learn about all sorts of animal behaviors and what they tell us about an animal's body. Readers will also discover several ways they can help keep their pets healthy. Animal biology is a key element of this book, making it a worthy addition to any science library.

Fungi's role in making cheese is quite unsavory to think about, but the end result sure tastes good. Yeast, one fungus discussed, is the fungus that makes our bread light and airy. Readers will also learn about the gross things in food that are dangerous and how to keep safe from E. coli and other bacteria. They'll be surprised and grossed out, but ultimately enthralled as they learn about the foods they eat every day.

A little dark, a little romance, at times deep, a little devilish and thought provoking but always taking you somewhere... Be careful though because maybe that somewhere is a place where you won’t want to be alone!
