Gross Universe (2004)
(OUT OF PRINT)
Welcome to Gross Universe, where stinking, exploding, and oozing are basic facts of life for humans, animals, and plants alike. The world we live in is definitely gross, but instead of hiding under the blankets (you'll never guess what's under there) it's best just to discover as much about it as you can.
Reviews
