Ruth Own’s Blood, Poop, and Dead Skin: the Things Insects Eat is a high interest science book for children grades 1-4 who like scary photos and gross miscellaneous facts. Slag is used “poop” “science stuff.” It includes labeled photos, a table of contents, and a glossary. It will appeal to  readers looking to satisfy their desire to learn odd facts about the animal world. Each different insect gets a two-page spread. Thirteen insects are discussed including the  dung beetle, green bottle fly, and bedbug. Large clear photos will draw the kids into the book. Sensational? yes Fascinating? yes
