A Bank Street Best Book of 2019

It’s itchy, it’s sweaty, it’s embarrassing...but most of all, it’s fascinating! Dr. Joanne Settel has all the answers to our most burning questions in this wacky and informative book of poems about our skin.

Have you ever wondered…
Why you blush when you’re embarrassed?
Why you’ve got freckles everywhere?
Why your fingers wrinkle in the pool?
Why your friends come in all different colors?
Why mosquitoes think you’re delicious?
Why you’ve got that giant pimple on your nose?
Look no further!

With supercool facts, clever rhymes, and hilarious illustrations by Bonnie Timmons, acclaimed author Joanne Settel answers all these questions (and more!) in this fascinating, fun exploration of the science of our skin from head to toe. When she’s through, you won’t believe what your skin can do!

Industry Reviews

"Settel offers detailed information about skin... Melanin, blood clots, sweat, freckles, sunburn, fingerprints, and more are all described in clever rhyming verse that reads nicely... All spreads include comical and enlightening cartoon illustrations, including some excellent cross sections, which add to the light humorous approach to the biological information. Readers are likely to hope for more of these anatomy lessons and poems from Settel. Educators will appreciate the opportunity to talk about nonfiction text features and formats while teaching health and science. VERDICT: This equally informative and entertaining combination of poetry and anatomical science is a fine addition for libraries serving middle grade readers."
