This book explains what purpose each gross body function has. Poop, farts, saliva, mucus even ear wax. The story is a super easy read at the beginning and becomes more technical towards the end. I think some of the technical could have been added into the initial story, but on the other hand if you find that all too boring you can just skip it since it's at the end of the book. Illustrations are bright and cheerful. I can't wait to share this book with my son and grandson.

This book did not go well into my kindle fire. It had whole sections of the book that were whited out. It came over fine in my Netgalley app. Not sure if that's the book or my kindle.

It’s Not EWWW… It’s You! by Sharon Leya

K-2 | PDHPE | Human Body

Summary: This picture book explores the “gross” human bodily fluids that help our body to function. Professor Ewe the adorable sheep teaches children to marvel at our incredible bodies.

Illustrations: The illustrations were well designed and eye-catchy for children to look at.

Appropriate for: K-2 (NSW Australian Primary School children). The vocabulary that students will learn is fundamental for these students to learn. I do believe you will need to read this to the right group of students as it is funny, but the vocabulary of (urine and poop) could cause an out-of control situation.

Review: I think this would be a great book to use as an introduction to the human body. I like the vocabulary as it is scientific. I do think it needs to read to the right group of students. The last page of additional information is also fantastic for those students who like to learn at a deeper level.

4/5

(Thank you Netgalley for this ARC)

First, I LOVE the illustrations in this one. They are cute and appealing and perfect for the age group that the book is targeted for. Professor Ewe was adorable and the gross things highlighted in the book are actually done really well.

As for content, this was a great way to normalize the things our body does to keep us safe and healthy - think boogers and poop, saliva and farts. Even ear was was included which is not normally talked about.

My five year old enjoyed it - of course boy think poop and farts are funny - but it was the perfect way to talk about how that stuff is normal. One of the best pages was the last page that gave a very age appropriate little paragraph about each bodily fluid (because that's basically the theme of the book) and why the body does it. Science without being way above the heads of a little guy. Perfect.

Thank you to netgalley for the arc in exchange for a review
I love these sheep.
This book is just amazing.
I have 2 nephews who engrossed with everything science from an early age.
They are still young enough and love
this book. A fun, cute way to learn the basics about body functions.
The illustrations were friendly and super cute!
I hope to read more books about science things by this author. Great job here. An excellent Outstanding book with matching illustrations.

This book is a bit of an “eww” to read, but it’s informative content is what happens to us all. A cute way to teach kids about the everyday bodily functions.

This was not a book I would normally buy, because how your body functions does kinda gross me out.
My kids however, loved it and I think if I were to of been exposed to books like this, early on it might of changed my outlook.

The pictures were great! They weren't too detailed where I wanted to look away. I didn't really get the rhyming but the line "It's not ewwww it's you" was a great way to use a different voice and make it extra theatrical, which kids seemed to love.

I also loved the little glossary at the back of the book, that explained further the body's functions. Sometimes it is hard to explain events or things in a way kids will understand, so this is nice.

This is such a clever book explaining how the systems of the body sometimes excrete things, such as mucus, poop, gas, etc. I think kids will find this book funny and it helps make the excrements less disgusting.

The highlight of this book in my opinion is the charming illustrations and artwork! It is a great expression of positivity surrounding your body, and uncovering the mysteries of the body. I would gladly incorporate this into my preschool "all about me" curriculum.

This book is cute and very cleverly narrated. The author uses language that translates well to tiny humans and peaks their interest in all the "gross" stinky, slimy bodily functions we all experience. This would be a great book to use in a Storytime about bodies, I can see littles giggling their way through this read. Thank you to BooksGoSocial and NetGalley for access to this ebook.

I loved this book! The illustrations are cute and whimsical. And the story was funny as well as educational. I especially had a blast with the topic of gas. The sound effects alone made me laugh out loud.

It's Not Ewwww...It's YOU will make a great addition to a child's library. Parents as well grandparents alike will enjoy the educational humor. Five stars.

I received a DRC from BooksGoSocial through NetGalley. The review herein is completely my own and contains my honest thoughts and opinions.

The illustrations on this were beautiful. Loved the animals and the one things were conveyed more as suggestions rather than outright displaying of the information being talked about. I think the book could have had more silliness in the information to make it even more fun or funny for little ones to follow along but I appreciated the messaging of the book.

Hooray for a book which explains normal bodily functions in a way that makes them understandable to kids. When you’re young, you need help learning about all the rather weird and sometimes scary things your body is doing. I hope parents will discover this nonfiction book, share it with their kids and answer any questions they might ask. Maybe some will even get interested in entering the medical field when they grow up to learn more about how bodies work.
