This book presents fascinating facts about disgusting things found in school.
Quick Summary
If your kiddo can't resist a good "eww, gross!" moment, this is the book for them. It dishes out all the wonderfully disgusting secrets hiding in plain sight at school like what's really lurking on cafeteria trays, the truth about school bathroom germs, and other stomach-turning facts that'll make kids double-check everything they touch. At just 1,400 words with a 3.8 reading level, it's a quick read that even reluctant readers will tear through because the "gross factor" keeps them hooked page after page. The balance between "I can't believe that's true" and actual science-backed information makes it surprisingly educational while still being hilarious. Parents will appreciate that it's lighthearted and age-appropriate the "disgusting" content is purely the fun, kid-friendly kind that sparks curiosity rather than anything concerning. It's basically the book version of those weird facts kids trade on the playground, but with real information behind them. If your child devours this, they'd probably also love "Dog Days" by Judith Viorst or other books in the "disgusting facts" genre for continuing that gross-out learning fun.
