What child has never had a cut or a scrape? It is a part of childhood. Author- Joanne Mattern reinforces how to care for them and assures young children not to worry  in this Rookie Read-About Health series book.  Children will readily identify with the photos of cuts, scrapes, and band-aids that abound in this 7″ X 6″ book,  just the right size for little hands to hold.

Page 10 tells the reader, “A scrape is different from a cut. Scrapes happen when something rubs away part of your skin.” Then pages 12-15 show an enlarged cross-section diagram of skin tissue and what the body is doing to stop the bleeding.

The book ends with a quiz ( answers are in tiny print at the bottom of the page), Strange but True, 2 jokes, a glossary, and an index.
