An illustrated book about the digestive system and microbiome for
young readers, from famous (and funny) scientist Dr. Jennifer
Gardy. Everybody eats, and everybody poops. Pretty ordinary stuff,
right? But what happens in between is far from ordinary! That's
where your digestive system-also known as your gut-works its magic.
It Takes Guts is an excellent, science-based resource for classroom
learning and home-schooling for kids age 9 to 13, with information
about: The surprising role that food and digestion play in your
mood and immune system. The amazing tools your body uses to break
down food including acids, which do their thing without burning a
hole in your stomach! The incredible truth that not all bacteria is
bad! Billions of "helpful bacteria" belong in your gut. And so much
more. Dr. Jennifer Gardy also takes stomach-turning detours to
investigate the science behind burps, barfs, and farts, proving
that learning about the wonderful world of your gut-takes guts!
"This is an eye-opening glimpse at the worldwide impact of rising
temperatures.” —School Library Journal. “Flooding and climate
change have become increasingly important topics that need to be
addressed, and our youngest readers — and a large hope for the
future of this planet — will learn important information about
our world and its climate in this informative text.” —Booklist.
The Earth’s oceans are on the rise. Since 1880, global sea levels
have risen steadily each year to a global average of about 8–9
inches (20–23 cm), and they’re still rising. By 2100, the sea
could climb as much as 6.6 feet (2 m) higher than it is today.
Rising Seas gives youth an eye-popping view of what the Earth might
look like under the rising sea levels of climate change.
Photographs juxtapose the present-day with that area’s projected
future. The shocking images will help readers understand the
urgency for action. This updated and expanded edition features
three new locations — London, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, and
Manila, the Philippines — as well as brand new sections about
climate anxiety (and what you can do about it) and how the world
worked together to close the ozone hole, giving young readers a
reason to hope for a better future. The 8 extra pages and thorough
revision make this an important warning for the future.
