Meet Drop. She's water! And she's seen a thing or two. Yep, even
dinosaurs; she's four and a half billion years old, after all.
Everywhere Drop flows - and she flows everywhere - she keeps things
moving, making life on earth possible, and having a great time
doing it. (Have you ever plummeted from a rain cloud? Or took a
thousand-year nap in a glacier? Drop knows how to live right.) With
delightful panache and a steady stream of funny one-liners, Drop
takes readers on an adventure through the water cycle and beyond.
Filled with irresistible artwork, funny asides, and a steady
sprinkle of kid-enticing facts, Drop is the story about water you
never knew you were thirsting for.
Jeremy Jacob joins Braid Beard and his pirate crew and finds out about pirate language, pirate manners, and other aspects of their life.
Everybody gets itchy, and every kid will love this title that scratches the itch to know more and about the history, anatomy, botany, biology behind it. Perfect for fans of Grossology books looking for something more substantive and dynamic.
You can feel it coming on--that terrible, tortuous ITCH. As irritating as an itch is, it is also your body's way of sending you a message you can't miss, like you've brushed up against poison ivy or lice have taken up residence in your hair. None of which you'd know without that telltale itch!
And there are so many things that make us itch--from fungus to fleas, mosquitoes to nettles, poison ivy to tarantulas!
Combining history, anatomy, laugh-out-loud illustrations, and even tips to avoid--and soothe--the itch, Anita Sanchez and Gilbert Ford take readers on an intriguing (and sometimes disgusting) look into what makes you scratch.
