First - Please note that while I personally received the Audiobook, my <b>rating</b> is specific to the content itself, the print version.

Certainly pretty gross, this will catch - and keep - children's attention (if they're into that stuff). Thankfully it was never <i>too</i> gross. The way it's written will also be perfect for kids, from the sounds of it it's just a bunch of interconnected fun facts. I'd love to see the book in print, so I could better appreciate the facts individually. Via audio, it feels a little like they're all just thrown at you. I really enjoyed Tim Campbell's voice too. The audio wasn't completely a bust, I'd just recommend it for older kids who will be able to grasp that this isn't really a cohesive story, more of a collection of knowledge. Toward the end of the book though, there are (what I'd guess is) a few pages worth of introductions; Tim Campbell is just saying "I'm so-and-so and I -blah-blah-blah. I'm (a different) so and so and I blah-blah-blah". Again an assumption, but maybe there were pictures of each person so it made a little more sense in context? So if you do choose the audiobook, maybe just skip over that part so it's not confusing.

{Thank you bunches to NetGalley, Jelena Poleksic, Neon Squid, Tim Campbell, Macmillan Audio and Macmillian Young Listeners for the ALC in exchange for my honest review!}
