Oh, Yuck! $14.95
Kids love stuff that's gross. From the liquids, solids, and gases--especially the gases!--or their
own bodies to the creepy, crawly, slimy, slithery, fetid, and feculent phenomena in the world at
large, kids with a curious bent just can't get enough. Oh, Yuck! The Encyclopedia of
Everything Nasty brings together, in one book, all the good things about some of the baddest
things on Earth.
Exhaustively researched and impeccably scientific, yet written with a lively lack of earnestness,
Oh, Yuck! is an ants to zits encyclopedic compendium covering people, animals, insects,
plants, foods, and more. Here are vampire bats, which sip blood and pee at the same time so
that they'll always be light enough to fly away; and slime eels, wreathed in mucus and eating
fellow fish from the inside out. Oh, Yuck! explains why vomit smells; where dandruff comes
from; what pus is all about; and why maggots adore rotting meant. Other features include
gross recipes, putrid projects, 10 foods that make you airborne, and more.

Oh Yikes! $14.95
Gross is back and viler than ever!
If kids think pus and gas are fun, wait until they hear the lowdown on the real Dracula, samurai,
gladiators, guillotines and vomitoriums, pirates, Vikings, witch trials, and the world’s poxiest
plagues. Impeccably researched, deliciously wry, and subversively educational (check out the
toilet-paper timeline), OH, YIKES! covers people, events, institutions, and really bad ideas,
alphabetically from April Fool’s Day to zany Zoos. Here are the Aztecs, sacrificing 250,000 people
a year for the gods—and for food. Fearsome Attila the Hun, scourge of the steppes whose
spinning eyes terrified his friends and whose mastery of horses terrorized his enemies (how does
someone so evil die? Nosebleed!). Saur, the 11th-century dog-king of Norway (and not too bad
as kings go). Henry VIII and his marital problems, the story of the Abominable Snowman and the
Loch Ness Monster, why sailors in the old days preferred eating in the dark (hint: you can’t see
what’s crawling in your food), and the answer to the question, “How did knights in armor go to the
bathroom?”
Topped off with hundreds of illustrations and photographs along with hands-on activities that
bring the past to life, OH, YIKES! puts the juice in history in a way that makes it irresistible.

Owl Puke $13.95
Kids love science-especially when it's hands-on-and kids love yucky stuff. The Owl Puke Book
and Owl Pellet brings the best of those two worlds together in a unique package that follows
directly in the tradition of The Bug Book & Bug Bottle and The Bones Book & Skeleton (which
together have 3.3 million copies in print). What is an owl pellet? It's the football-shaped object
regurgitated twice a day by owls, which contains the skeleton of at least one owl meal, be it a
mouse, vole, shrew, or small bird. Used in elementary schools to teach the food web--but
virtually unavailable at retail--a professionally collected, heat-sterilized owl pellet is now
married to a lively, two-color illustrated book filled with facts and related activities about these
most amazing birds. And what a story the Owl Puke Book tells--of the food chain, animal
anatomy, life in the forest; of a bird that could read the bottom line of an eye chart from one
mile away; and of a fierce hunter that swallows its prey headfirst and digests everything but the
bones, which it spits back up in a pellet. As for the story the pellet tells, kids need only a
toothpick to find out. The package includes a tray to hold the bones and a chart to help
identify the pellet's contents

My World and Globe $13.95
The world has changed since 1991. There are even ten more countries, from East Timor to
Palau. But one thing hasn't changed-the need for kids to learn their geography, and to have fun
doing it. Understand everything from animals and oceans to explorers and the equator. Child
magazine--comes with a child-friendly geography book, an inflatable globe, and stickers so kids
can customize their globe--making the world their own. And The Los Angeles Times [explains]
everything from how a map maker puts a round world on a flat page, to why it's night in Los
Angeles when it's morning in London.
The package is irresistible, combining a fully illustrated book with an inflatable, custom-designed
18-inch globe printed with basic physical features, with 110 full-color stickers. The book is
revised throughout, and redesigned for a contemporary look. The included stickers are now
durable vinyl and reusable, so after putting the banana sticker where bananas grow and the I
Live Here arrow where it belongs, kids can peel them off and start all over again--or have a
friend or sibling give it a try. And the coolest new feature: The new square package includes a
cardboard display stand, allowing kids one and all to show off their world.
