The Gas We Pass


This is a great, funny book to cover the topic of gas. When starting school it is important to teacher children when it is appropriate and when it is not appropriate to do certain things like pass gas. The Gas We Pass is a factual book that not only makes light of the situation it has a good balance of facts, diagrams and certain situations that children might find them selves in. 

I could see myself using this  book during a health unit or digestive unit. Like I mentioned earlier the book has education information about the actual process of how we as humans develop gas and what happens after we pass gas. A lot of times children feel like they are the only ones who do this, however, this book ensures them that along with other humans animals pass gas as well. Sometimes it is reassuring to hear that you are not the only one who lets one pop out. Although this book may create giggles throughout the class when you read it, it is worth the distractions, the pictures although they may be funny, they speak the truth.
