Synopsis

Learn how important the holes in your nose are in this wacky and informative book. We breathe and smell through the holes in our noses and they come in lots of different sizes. Grandad’s nose holes are much bigger than mine or my sisters’. But it is not just humans who have holes in their noses. Lots of animals have holes in their noses too, and dolphins have their holes on the top of their head. Bet you don’t know how bogies are made and why you sneeze - Aachoo!

Review:

"Here, presented in the very matter-of-fact, detailed and mischievous way that children themselves tend to explore such issues, is everything a child could want to know about the nose and what comes out of it. The text, delightfully illustrated with bold, funny sketches, moves quickly through holes in people's and animal's noses, hairs in noses, stuffy noses, dripping noses and bleeding noses. Parents may blanch or stifle chuckles when the text winds up for the single most interesting aspect of noses from a child's-eye view. Complete with arrows, the illustrations detail how this transformation occurs, while the text continues: 'Boogers are made from dirt, so they're dirty. Even if you line them up neatly like this, they're still dirty.' The Holes in Your Nose...perfectly reflects the sensibilities of a culture in which there is nothing wrong with telling people that they've gained weight and that there are pimples on their faces. After that, frankness about the mundane workings of the body is par for the course." --- The New York Times Book Review

"Very informative, great 'gross factor' that toddlers love." --- Kaboose
