This is a great book to teach about animals, especially some of their gross behaviours. Boys will love this book. What 9 year old boy does not love to read about eating boogers or feces. Finding out what animals regurgitate and why will catch their attention. The photographs are excellent. They have many closeups of animals that you would not normally be able to see. This book would be a hit in school, classroom and public libraries. Getting those reluctant readers to read this book would be easy.

Will be posted March 4 Animals that Make Me say Ewww! Is an interesting look at some of your favorite (and not so favorite) animals. But this book tells you all about their gross habits - like picking their nose and eating it and talks a LOT about poo. Definitely really informative if you try to look beyond the Eww! factor, but I think a lot of kids will love reading about poo and won't realize they are actually learning too!

I received a free e-copy of this book in order to write this review. I was not otherwise compensated.

Bright photos from the National Wildlife Federation accompany interesting and gross information about how animals clean themselves and deal with their wastes and other rather gross things. I did not know that bees basically vomit nectar into the cells in the hive to make honey. The book includes a glossary and an index and I think that elementary school children will enjoy reading it. I received this book free to review from Netgalley.

Fascinating accounts of disgusting things animals do complete with explanations. A sure hit with kids of ALL ages.

Animals That Make Me Say Ewww! by Dawn Cusick is children's nonfiction book currently scheduled for release on March 1 2016. This book details some of the less appealing aspects of the animal world. From blood-squirting reptiles to blood-sweating mammals to nose-picking primates, learn about some of the most disgusting creatures in the animal kingdom. Animals have developed some weird, wacky, and just plain gross habits and skills that help them survive.

Animals That Make Me Say Ewww! has a host of interesting facts about the bizarre habits and skills that animals have developed to help them survive. some are disgusting defenses to protect them from predators, others are symbiotic relationships or grooming habits that help keep them comfortable and healthy, and some are to help them find and devour their own prey. Some of the facts I already knew, like the teamwork between certain birds or fish and much larger animals that might otherwise consider them food or pests, but I did learn some new things as well. I liked the detail about the whys of the gross facts, rather than just the information about what each animal does and why it is gross. This would be a great book for readers that love learning about animals, and those looking for some information on the icky side.

Animals That Make Me Say Ewww! is a wonderful resource and I think it will be appreciated by animal and ick lovers alike. A great addition to home, school, and library collections.

Cute and funny.

This book is definitely going to get read. Nothing gets a kid interested in a book like gross stuff. This is so much information in this book. I am really excited about this book.
