Ouch!

Ouch! is a fact-filled, illustrated nonfiction book that takes young readers on an entertaining tour of all the ways the body gets hurt and sick — from blisters, bruises, and broken bones to fevers, bee stings, allergies, and poison ivy — and explains in clear, kid-friendly language exactly what happens inside the body when each ailment strikes and what doctors and parents can do to make it better.

Joe Rhatigan's witty text, accompanied by photos and illustrations, makes the science of healing both fun and reassuring for curious young readers. This is an excellent choice for students because it demystifies medical experiences that all children encounter, builds health literacy, and sparks interest in biology and science — making it a great resource for aspiring doctors and scientists alike.
