Gee Whiz! It's all About Pee
Grade 2-5–The astonishing and often repulsive uses of urine by humans and animals are chronicled in this companion toThe Truth about Poop(Viking, 2004). Packed with anecdotes and facts, this book about the importance of pee has subtle humor. With clever wordplay for chapter titles, e.g., Urine the Army Now, the author grabs readers' attention and educates them with short, quick bits of information. The cartoon illustrations add humor to a subject that students will already be giggling over. Elementary-aged boys in particular will be drawn to the yucky grossness of the topic but will end up learning from the text. A book full of interesting tidbits that students will remember and love to share.–Christine Markley, Washington Elementary School, Barto, PACopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
