Bloomsbury presents What Breathes Through Its Butt? Written and read by Emily Grossman

A funny and interactive book that explains the surprising science behind everyday kid questions

Why is your elbow called your funny bone? How could you escape the grip of a crocodile’s jaw? Which animal can breathe through its butt? This book uncovers the amazing scientific explanations behind all sorts of questions that can pop into our heads. Can an egg bounce? How can a giraffe’s ridiculously long neck contain the same number of bones as a human’s? How much does the Internet weigh? With delightful interactive features that invite readers to guess answers to questions and make links between different scientific concepts, this is a great book for reluctant readers and STEAM lovers alike.

A compendium for the naturally curious, this humorous nonfiction book. . . . will certainly fly off the shelves. An outstanding question-and-answer science book filled with delightful facts that will engage young readers. . . . A must-read for every curious child. A block-printed narrative strewn with bolded words and accompanied by simple, thick-lined cartoon illustrations reflect the irreverent tone of this quirky Q&A. Expand reviews
