Something terrible has happened at the zoo! All of the animals are sick. They have a green hue and fevers of one hundred and two. The lions won't roar, the tigers can only mew, and the hyenas are crying boo-hoo. It all began when Felicity Floo came to the zoo with a cold and spread green, gloopy goo all over the zoo animals. You'll enjoy this rhyming trip to the zoo with Felicity Floo.

Do you hate going to the doctor? Worry about getting a shot? Just be glad you weren't born in ancient time. We are lucky that doctors know a lot about how the body works. We can take medicine to make us well. Not so long ago, doctors guessed about what was wrong with people. You might find them cutting you open to let your extra blood come out. Have a headache? How about we drill a hole in your head to let the evil spirits escape? Sometimes going to the doctor would kill you!

Nikki loves to eat - she loves the taste of food, it makes her feel better when she's sad, and she can even vent her anger by pretending each crunchy chip is a mean boy. But Nikki's mama packs unhealthy food in her lunch and she gets called "Supersize" because she's fatter than the other kids. Nikki notices that her new teacher Mrs. Patterson is overweight too. When Mrs. Patterson has a health scare, it's a wake up call for both teacher and student. Soon the two of them are working together to get healthy. This is a beautifully and realistically told story of teamwork and gets the nutritional message across without preaching. Lush and colorful illustrations accompany the text.

This book is funny because Charlie tricks his sister Lola into eating all the things she says she doesn't like. For instance, Lola sees some peas and refuses to eat them. But Charlie says they're rare green drops from Greenland that fall from the sky. Then Lola tries a nibble and she likes it! If you have a finicky little sibling, you might get good ideas from this book!
Kid review
written by Ellie, Age 7

When Lola sees a carrot on the table she refuses to eat. But it's not a carrot Lola! It's an orange twiglet from Jupiter!

This is a great non-fiction book explaining new inventions from ancient times to the present.

Mr. Bailey has published a series of books that make scientific concepts fun and easy to learn about. Some areas he covers are medicine, weapons, space, early civilizations, and many more time related inventions.
