Summary:

In this book its about a little 5 year old who starts to learn about different things that your body does. Its a very funny story. This little boy starts to wonder why skin was peeling off of his feet. Because it did he thought "Oh my goodness all my skin is going to fall off to the bone!". He goes through a bunch of different things like that and one little thing he will take to the extreme.

Who might benefit from this book?
I think its a great book for little children because they can learn that those things that your body does is normal and that its OK.

What problems might this book might cause?
There aren't any problems because in the book the parents clarify that its all normal and that its OK for your body to do those kind of things.

My reaction:
I thought that it was a super cute book. I thought that it was a fun way to teach children that your body will do certain things but that its normal. It also gave me a good laugh while I was at it.
