Product Description
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!

5 out of 5 stars Entertaining and a fun read for any two year old~!   February 6, 2010

This book was a gift to my grandson for Christmas and he wants it read over and over again. Books are his favorite right now so we can't spoil him with too many.


2 out of 5 stars A Boring Treatment of an Interesting Body Part   May 23, 2009
Shanna A. Gonzalez (Gaithersburg, MD)
Another book in the spirit of Everyone Poops, but without the same humor or simplicity. It opens with comparisons of different people's nose holes, and proceeds to animals' nose holes (the dolphin has one on top of its head; seals and hippos can close theirs to go underwater). The content of "boogers" is described, and there's an explanation of how the nose and mouth are connected. There's a little experimentation, where children are asked to hold their nose and try to talk, and a bit of non-essential body humor: "Wed the holes in my dose are sdubbed ub, I candt sbell id eved wed I fart."

Young children are fascinated with the aspects of their body which they are not allowed to talk about, and this book attempts to bring a lighthearted, scientific understanding to this oft-overlooked body part. However, the artwork is below mediocre, the text is unexciting, and there are better books that cover this topic without being boring.

This book has been helpful with my current preschool nose pickers. Some of them have cut down on their habit. Books go along way in reinforcing a teacher's opinion!

Overall if you liked *Everyone Poops* you'll probably like this one....just not nearly as much.

I have to say that while the whole family really enjoyed *everyone poops* which was innovative and funny in a laugh out loud sort of way this one kind of smacked of "how can i do something similar again?" The jokes are somewhat similar in that they are of the body humor variety but with this book they are more of the gross-out variety as opposed to the innovative sort.

That said, that kind of subtlty tends to get lost on children. My son found this book just as much of a hoot as the poop book. His sense of humor isnt, shall we say, all that sophisticated and *going for the gross-out* in his case might be considered a plus.

So while I, as a mom, didn't find this to be anywhere near as good as the other book, I think my son enjoyed it as much and since it was a book for him, I have to say that ultimately it was a good purchase.
