• Ideas for using this book in classroom or library – I don’t know that this could be used for any particular curriculum but this book would be helpful for preschoolers and kindergarteners as they learn about their bodies and bodily functions.
• Whatever additional notes you’d like to add about this book and why you liked or didn’t like it – I think the very simple illustrations done with backgrounds in primary colors would resonate and hold children’s attention.
