Why I Sneeze, Shiver, Hiccup, and Yawn
by Melvin Berger and Paul Meisel
Ka-choo! Yawn! Hiccup! Brr! Why I Sneeze, Shiver, Hiccup, and Yawn is a cute science book helps young children understand how the reflexes in their body do things that are good for them every day... all without them even thinking about it.
What kid hasn't wondered why they sneeze in a dusty room or yawn when tired or shiver when cold. This book answers those pressing questions in a kid-friendly discussion on common bodily reflexes. And, this book also includes some fun, related experiments to use in your human body lesson plans. In their review of this book, School Library Journal called this title an "attractive introductory nonfiction." :)
