My Brilliant Body: Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Your Own Body

127 pp. | Barron's | August, 2008 | Library ISBN 978-0-7641-6172-8 $9.99
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Paul Cemmick. An assortment of facts are collected in this book, which is, by turns, informative, amusing, and bizarre. Topics range from practical ("how to check your pulse"), to random ("ten phrases for vomiting"), to just plain strange ("do-it-yourself amputation"). Readers may be alternatingly intrigued, puzzled, and repulsed. Frenetic cartoon illustrations appear throughout.
Reviewer: Elissa Gershowitz
