REVIEW

I grew up reading the horrible histories, and Bodies, Brains & Bogies by Paul Ian Cross gave me instant nostalgia vibes of those books! My two youngest (8 & 9 years old) just loved this book (ok my 13 year old had a good chuckle at the book as well) This book takes you on a tour of everything that's disgusting, unusual and amazing about the human body.

From your head to toe this book is filled with wonderful gross facts and amazing illustrations to match, your kids will enjoy this different take on a biology book for sure. I loved the grossometer, the abundance of facts, the illustrations and the fact that is a book that kids will find engaging, and retain information from as it has been done in a fun way.

Author Bio –

Paul Ian Cross, PhD, is a scientist, researcher, writer, and educator from London, UK.

Paul works in clinical research (developing new medicines) and he's also a science communicator (presenting science to non-scientists). Paul specialises in vaccine development and has an interest in pharmacovigilance (the safety of medicinal products). His PhD research investigated the benefit-risk assessment of medicines, and how patients and the public can be more involved in their treatment decisions.

Paul's popular social media accounts (@DrPaulScience) are full of STEM-themed content for all ages, but particularly for parents and adults to share with the children in their lives. Paul is a member of #TeamHalo, a UN backed initiative where doctors, healthcare workers, and scientists share accurate information about healthcare, science, and the COVID-19 vaccines. In 2021, Paul was named as a 'Luminary' at the G7's Vaccine Confidence Summit, in recognition for his science communication work on social media.

In addition to his research career, Paul has a passion for introducing children to STEM subjects, particularly reluctant readers. By introducing science creatively, he aims to spark their interest, allowing them to gain confidence with their reading. As a previous reluctant reader himself, he understands how hard it can be. But it's all about making reading fun and interesting!
