Why Don’t Your Eyelashes Grow? by Beth Ann Ditkoff: This is a collection of questions and answers geared towards parents answering their children’s queries about their bodies. No, it’s not about puberty. It’s about all the other little stuff: why do we have boogers, what are moles, etc. I knew most of the answers already, though I recognized several misconceptions I held as a child. I can see this being a useful book to have in the house. Unfortunately, I am a touch leery about the credibility of the information. Yes, the author is a doctor, but there is no bibliography or even recommended further reading. That always puts up a red flag for me when reading nonfiction.
