Life is pretty gross. Admit it, you know what I’m talking about. Thinking about leaky bodily fluids, stinky body smells and the disgusting germs all around us may not make for an adult’s favorite reading experience, but for kids? Well, this might be the perfect interesting and funny reading material. The new Worst-Case Scenario Survival Handbook: Gross Junior Edition by David Borgenicht, Nathaniel Marunas, and Robin Epstein provides this experience in a compact, and often hilarious manner.
A wide array of gross topics are explored here, with fun facts and solid advice, presented in language kids will relate to. Okay, I have to admit that I found some stuff in here actually useful, too! Did you know that there’s an easy way to test if your breath is going to make your best pal pass out when you whisper in his ear? (Yup, and it’s even more effective than the old breathe into your cupped hands… trust me!) I bet you can’t guess how much snot is made each day by the average person. (Thankfully, most of it goes down the back of your throat, but seriously, I can’t stop thinking about this!) And honestly, don’t even get me started on the tiny amounts of gross bug parts and mold and such that is officially allowed in our packaged food. Big time gross! How about the classic childhood experience of trying to make it through a dinner with a plate full of yucky food? Check out the tips offered:

Dawn’s life with three kids includes a whole lot of gross, and sometimes it even makes it onto her blog, my thoughts exactly.
I am so going to regret this. Oh well, as first commenter, I prob won’t win. And my kids would love this, especially when they told me all about it at breakfast.
Would love to win this for my nephew – he’s the perfect age to enjoy it!
This is the type of book my son would love.
I think I could actually convince my son to do his 30 minutes of reading if I had this book! Not sure I want to know how many gross ingredients are in MY food!
This sounds like something my son would love to read!
Hi,
I wish I had this when I was raising my sons…but it would be perfect for my sister’s children.
This looks like a cute book.

Sounds a lot like the “Icky and Gross Encyclopedia” which my 11-year old loves (so many fascinating details about ear wax!!). I think this will go on the Christmas list for Granny and Grampa to get for him!
Sounds just about perfect for all the 7-year-old boys in my life right now.
Perfect book!
My kids would LOVE this!
Oh my goodness, My son would absolutely love this book.
