The Quest to Digest

(3) 4-6 Illustrated by Jef Czekaj. A spiky-haired green guy with an orange and white striped tie and sneakers guides readers through the human digestive system, pointing out each organ and its function, be it "cool" or "sometimes gross." The gory facts are all there, but breezy writing ("good job, epiglottis"), use of the second person, and cartoon illustrations keep the tone light. Reading list, websites. Bib., glos.
Reviewer: Gail Hedges
