Synopsis
Get ready to squirm!
Did you know there are spiders that look just like bird poop? Cockroaches that can be directed by remote control? And snakes that fart to scare away predators? These are just a few of the bizarrly engrossing, disgusting, and squirm-inducing facts about animals you can use to entertain and gross-out friends and parents.

From Booklist
Like Gould’s Why You Shouldn’t Eat Your Boogers (2013), this is a young-reader version of a similarly titled adult book. It leaves out chapters on sexual topics and some of the rawer content . . . but, no fears, there’s still plenty left to astonish and disgust. In a Q&A format, the authors introduce such memorable creatures as the aptly named Dracula ant, a parrot that was the last speaker of an indigenous language in Venezuela, and a gallery of projectile “power pooers” that includes penguins and hornbills. They also present dozens of animal offensive and defensive strategies (“In tests, the western hooknose snakes were found to fart only when threatened”) and offer speculative but well-reasoned answers for some of nature’s unsolved mysteries, such as the titular canine practice. Simply drawn cartoon critters in chapter openings and preview pages (“Coming up: babies who eat their moms”), along with the lack of back matter, signal this is intended strictly for recreational browsing—but who wouldn’t benefit from knowing that turning a shark upside down will stun it, or that crocodiles will retreat when poked in the eye? Grades 1-4. --John Peters
