As an educator, a parent, and an incredibly creative children’s book author, Julia Cook proves once again that she clearly knows how to pick her topics. This time around, the subject of her scrutiny is none other than the disrespectful treatment of boogers. The strong undertones of good hygiene and infection control are well-disguised by her humor, the hilarious illustrations, and a few well-placed tissues. This book is sure to put boogers in their rightful place and make everyone who reads it laugh out loud!
