Quick Summary
This book turns nature's most revolting survival tricks into a sidesplitting tour of the animal kingdom's grossest defenses. Kids will gobble up stories about creatures that shoot slime, blast gas, vomit on command, and fling poo at predators. If your kid loves the icky humor in "Dog Man" or "Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde a Wimpy Kid: Diper Överlöde Wimpy Kid," they'll be totally grossed out and thrilled by this book. Perfect for kids in grades 4-8 who think burps are comedy and fart jokes are timeless art.
