Illustrations and a humorous rhyme describe what happens when a boy swallows a fly, and presents factual information about the digestive system
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
Kindergarten-Grade 3-Holub's creative story takes readers on a whimsical tour of the digestive process. In lighthearted rhyme, a girl relates how a fly travels through her brother from ingestion to elimination. "The fly wiggle-woggled/ around in his mouth,/bumping his teeth/before moving south." Sidebars, cartoons, and additional text explain the organs and steps of the digestive system in easy-to-understand language with simple analogies. The illustrations, rendered in ink, markers, gouache, and colored pencil, burst with bright colors and backgrounds. Children will chuckle over the toilet-bowl scene and the unfortunate fly sinking in gastric juices. Holub serves two pages of additional information including sections on "Should I Eat a Fly?," "The Food Pyramid," and "Funny Noises." This is the type of book that gathers no shelf dust.
