Book Descriptions
for Yikes! by Mike Janulewicz
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
Are these images from an alien planet? Monsters from the Late Late Show? No, they're your own body parts--hair, skin, taste buds, blood, teeth and eyeballs, magnified thousands of times. Similar to the book Yuck!: A Big Book of Little Horrors by Robert Snedden (Simon & Schuster, 1996), Yikes! turns microphotography into a gross-out guessing game, using fold-out pages to reveal the true identity of these gruesome-looking micro-organisms. (Ages 6-14)

From the Publisher
In this text the microscopic camera focuses on the human body. It takes the reader on a scarily in-depth journey across the cracks and crevices of the skin, into the cavernous mouth and deep down inside the churning stomach and includes a look at the creatures which live on the body.
