Having written what may be the ne plus ultra of gross books for Maple Tree Press (Gross Universe, 2004), it was a hop, skip, and jump to put this one together for Literacy Place. This was a chance to speak to some leading experts on mites (dust, demodex, etc.), which is always worth a book contract. Plus, there’s a hilarious, almost homunculus-like illustration of me belching late in the book that’s worth the price alone.

These books were written for Scholastic Education's Literacy Place series, and are sold in packages with lesson plans and containing multiple books - the prices reflect this.
