What's Eating You?: Parasites- The Inside Story is an informational book about parasites. It is filled with sixty pages of information and diagrams. It tells how, where, and why parasites live. It displays how parasites such as ticks and lice attack. It has a diagram of a week in the life of a tick and includes a board game about the life cycle of a tapeworm. It also goes into how to defend oneself against parasites.
This book is gross and very funny. I can see parents getting grossed out, and children loving it. The little bugs are always making funny comments. Every page is unique. Every other page is full of writing that may be a bit much for younger children to get through, but the pictures do a good job of explaining the material. This is a really fun book about a gross topic.
