Kids will love reading  gross facts and trivia of common practices from ancient times to present.  The format is colorful and small paragraphs of text accompany large photographs.  A facthound internet site offers titles and information about related books but some of the “gross” links are broken.  Books for further reading are written at a similar reading level and focus on equally gross topics!  The glossary includes words that were also defined on the pages on which they were introduced.  The index is arranged in sections: animals, blood, foods, history, human body, maggots, and meat to help one quickly find information.  This book will certainly be popular with those looking for fascinating facts the might make you gag!
