Pick, Spit & Scratch: The Science of Disgusting Habits by Julia Garstecki

challenging informative lighthearted reflective fast-paced

4.0

I enjoyed reading the electronic version of this book. There were several facts discussed that I found interesting.

For one, I was glad to be reminded of something that sounded familiar of the 2-minute recommendation for how long to brush your teeth, Also, I was interested to learn the term for someone who picks their nose with Greek roots, including rhino - (as stated) means nose. And furthermore, I learned that red light may occasionally facilitate sleep, whereas blue light, like that from a TV or computer screen, is not helpful for sleep, in fact likely deleterious.

Without seeing any specific age recommendation on this book, I'd make a guess that this is a good book for tweens to read, or about elementary going into middle school.
