The Curious Kid's Gross Book of Why answers 150 questions in eight sections: Wind, Burps and Bottoms. Snot, Spit and Sneezes. Skin, Scabs and Sweat. Ears, Eyes, Teeth and Hair. Bugs and Creepy Crawlies. Animals Doing Disgusting Things. Food Gone Wrong. Germs, Guts and the Inside of You.
Each answer is about a hundred words: long enough to explain properly, short enough to read aloud in under a minute without losing anyone at the table. Every question has its own ink drawing of a curious boy and his scruffy terrier getting far too close to the subject, a fact box, and every section ends with a five-question quiz.
Answers you can trust. Gross, yes. Made up, never. Every answer was written against two independent institutional sources, then checked a second time at the sentence level before it went to print. Where scientists genuinely do not know yet, the book says so.
This is the second title in the series, following The Curious Kid's Big Book of Why, in the same 7 by 10 inch format and checked to the same standard.
