Annotation:
What causes a sneeze? All sorts of things, including pollen, dust, mites, and many other grossities, which are delightfully shown in vividly magnified format in this informative and icky picture book. House dust can have anything from spider silk to dog hair in it, while the softness of goose down is an illusion due to its barbed edges that cause sneezes. Filled with information and lots of pictures.
