<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><i>Sniff, Lick & Scratch</i> is an entertaining and informative exploration of the science behind the less majestic side of the animal kingdom.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b><i>Sniff, Lick & Scratch! </i>is the book parents and educators will turn to to explain the less majestic behaviors witnessed in the animal kingdom--and sneak in a little STEM learning while they're at it. </b> <p/> Do flies really puke on our food when we're not looking? And why do dogs sniff each other's behinds? The companion book to <i>Pick, Spit & Scratch </i>answers these and many of the other most pressing questions young readers have about the animal kingdom--specifically, do animals <i>really</i> do all those nasty things we hear about, and <i>why</i>? <p/> As with the disgusting habits of humans, there's a bit of <b>science behind the strange things that animals do</b>. Each spread describes a specific naughty-by-nature habit and provides multilayered reading opportunities in the form of one or two weird, disgusting facts that ratchet up the gross factor by connecting animal habits with relatable concepts. In many cases, the author even <b>debunks commonly held myths</b> about the animal habits described and, in the process, shows that these animal habits, though disgusting to us humans, are really matters of evolution and survival. <p/> Have a question about a specific icky animal behavior? A <b>glossary </b>and <b>index </b>make <i>Sniff, Lick & Scratch</i> a great reference. <p/> Kids will get a thrill out of exclaiming "Eww!" as they read this book. Parents will love that their children are reading and engaged in scientific inquiry.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Julia Garstecki</b> is an experienced teacher and author of dozens of nonfiction books for children, including <i>Science in a Jar</i>; <i>Pick, Spit & Scratch</i>; <i>Sniff, Lick & Scratch</i>; and <i>Burp, Spit & Fart</i>.
