Books like The Horrible Science Of Everything

The Stunning Science of Everything is a nonfiction book written by Nick Arnold and illustrated by Tony De Saulles. It is most likely intended for children ages 7-11.Summary: Accompanied by goofy cartoons and filled with disgusting details, this book covers many different scientific topics including bugs, dinosaurs, weather, and the beginning and end of the universe.Evaluation: I rated this book 4 stars because it is a very informative book that puts otherwise confusing scientific concepts into simple explanations. The language used is informal and easy to understand for children who might be bored by typical science classes and textbooks. A large part of this book’s appeal is its colorful and crazy illustrations, many of them in comic form. These illustrations take up a significant amount of each page and might serve as diagrams, examples, or simply jokes pertaining to the information on each page. Elementary and middle schoolers would like this book because of its irreverent and gross sense of humor. When working with children, this book could be used in addition to a regular science textbook or lecture to show students that learning science doesn’t have to be boring (and it can be full of disgusting facts!).
