About this title

Synopsis

Did you know that there are glasses to prevent motion sickness...Or that astronauts can get "space sick"...This hilarious and wacky illustrated book is jam-packed with silly facts, crazy activities, and even recipes (Barf-day cake, anyone?) that will have you learning all about the fascinating world of barf, our bodies, and beyond.

Yes, barf is gross. But...it also kind of tells us a lot about how our bodies work? Whether it's that saliva protects your teeth from vomit or that your stomach can hold 4 quarts of food and liquid...Vomit is the revolting, disgusting, slimy, gooey but also hurl-arious fabric that holds us together!

The Big Book of Barf is perfect the curious science-loving kids who love to digest (and then regurgitate) cool and crazy facts. This colorful and engaging book is filled with myths and history about vomit, humorous health hacks to keep your food down, facts about your digestive system, activities for home, jokes, and more! All this gastronomic gargle-gravy goodness will entertain and inform young readers whether at home, in school, or especially [cough, gag, heave] in the bathroom.
