Laugh Along With The Family as You Read These Gross Books

Gross books are no longer just for kids, as gross now expands far beyond nose picking, farting and ooze. While gross books for tweens still dominates the disgusting market, publishers and authors are creating gross books for kids, tweens, teens and a special selection just for adults. The funny thing is, reguardless of which age category the books speak too, most of the stomach-churning, unpalatable highlights tend to focus around us. That's right, around the human body. So why are we all so gross? Grab one of these fascinating books and find out.

The Encyclopedia of Immaturity

The Ultimate Silly Book - with a few gross things along the way


My girls got this book as a gift. It is hilarious and while not specifically gross, it offers endless hours of fun - and some of it is pretty gross. While aimed at kids, I know many adults who love the book. Basically, anyone into laughing, pranks, grossness or silliness will love the over 400 pages in this book.

The Big Book of Gross Stuff

After reading the reviews on this book, I would have to say it has a wide appeal. The recommended reading level is ages 9-12, but one review suggests it is written for ages 8-14, while the School Library Journal suggested it was for grades 6-10. Even the adults who read this book enjoyed it.

Excerpt from an Amazon customer review:
The Big Book of Gross Stuff is not only fun, but it's packed with stealth science. Any kid who reads the book will come out the other end a lot smarter and will have a great time doing it. Bart King is a wonderful writer with an uncanny ability to appeal to young readers.

    LOL funny Rhonda and a VERY popular genre - HA! sounds funny to apply such a sophisticated word as genre to books like 'Why Fish Fart' but hey - if the shoe fits. My sons had some of these thanks to their Aunt Mary, one title she gave them that is hysterical is 'Everyone Poops' - LOL - all about ... POOP! ... people poop, animal poop... giggles galore!
