Customer Reviews

Great fun for kids

What a marvelous book. It explains the functions of digestion in a fun way. It has a couple of "fart" and "poop" jokes which are entirely appropriate to a book about food and nutrition, and allows a kid to hear a little "naughty" joke, but the clean kind of naughtiness that a kid can laugh at, instead of the "dirty" jokes that they are probably being exposed to.

Haduch rules!

As a kid who likes science and math, I think Haduch rules! I have read several of Mr. Haduch's science books and they are always funny and full of good information. I even used his book on tornadoes for a school project (and got an "A".)The food book is very funny while telling you about science and how your body uses food. I hope he does a book on dinosaurs.

Science and nutrition made fun for kids.

Now maybe kids will eat what's good for them!This book is one of the rare kids' books that addresses kids as people to be talked to and entertained....not to be talked down to or preached at. As a mom who has kids interested in science....and off-the-wall humor...I appreciate a book that combines both. Thanks!

One of a Kind!

This hilarious and well-researched book is, by far, the best children's book on nutrition I've seen. Haduch's well-crafted prose both instructs and entertains; the book is filled with off-beat facts and wacky humor to keep kids laughing while they learn important health information. Every school and public library should have this book!
