Critics Review

With visually appealing and cleverly presented illustrations using bright colours and at times modified photographs, this book has so much to entertain and engage readers, both young and old. A must have book for lovers of all things gross! * Read Plus *From chickens in nappies to nose-picking giraffes, the honeybee’s hairy eyeballs and the hundred daily times a mouse might poo, this compendium of foul facts is gruesomely captivating – its bright, splashy, inviting pages should appeal strongly to (gross) trivia 7+ fans. – Imogen Russell Williams * The Guardian *If you are fascinated by gross things and you like facts, this book is for you. It tells you about history and weird and horrible facts on subjects such as rats or baseball… So settle in for some revolting but funny discoveries. * The Geelong Advertiser *Bright covers and luminous fonts have them standing out from the crowd and readers will be arguing over who gets to read first. With a mammoth assortment of fascinating and frightening facts, these latest additions to the series guarantee giggles, gasps and the odd scream (Gross FACTopia! is definitely not for the squeamish) and will have children desperate to share the facts with anyone who will listen. Brilliant stuff! * A Word About Books *
