Book Reviews of Nature's Yucky! 2 The Desert Southwest
Book Review: An enlightening book about the ingenuity of nature
Summary: 5 Stars
Nature's Yucky! 2: The Desert Southwest is a softcover picturebook for young readers brimming with amazing - albeit icky! - facts about nature and wildlife of the American Southwest. From the regal horned lizard, which can spit blood from its eyes, to the dung beetles' favorite food (ew!) to the piglike javelina that smells like stinky socks, each animal has its own gross habits or aspects for a reason - for example, javelinas use their musky odor to help keep the herd grouped together. The last few pages offer additional information about the various wild animals mentioned, as well as a recipe for "Raven-Gut Upside Down Cake", a "Nature's Yucky! Blues" song, and a list of further resources. An enlightening book about the ingenuity of nature for children's library collections and inquisitive young people who aren't too easily grossed out. Also highly recommended is the original "Nature's Yucky!"
Summary of Nature's Yucky! 2 The Desert Southwest
This follow-up to the disgustingly popular Nature's Yucky! takes young naturalists and other lovers of foul facts and icky information on an expedition to the American Southwest. Nature's Yucky! 2 introduces readers to sixteen desert creatures and vividly answers such scintillating scientific questions as: How does the regal horned lizard squirt blood from its eyes? Why do dung beetles eat poop? Why does the piglike javelina smell like stinky socks? Astonishingly detailed illustrations capture not just Mother Nature's revolting qualities but her stunning beauty. With its "Eeewww!!! That's YUCKY" refrain, the book is especially fun for reading aloud. Serious scholars will enjoy gathering further information about each animal in the "More Fun Facts" section. Those with an appetite for further yuckiness can use the kid-friendly recipe for raven-gut upside-down cake or sing the Nature's Yucky!" song. There is also a list of books and Web sites to encourage further scientific exploration.Animals Books
