It features child-friendly text and fun cartoon illustrations. From plants and life cycles to the human body and animal adaptations, the books offer fun examples to provide ways in to understanding solid scientific principles. Titles in the series: Human Body Horrors, Beastly Animals, Gruesome Plants, Revolting Life Cycles.

Anna Claybourne has written over 150 children's books on all kinds of subjects, from sharks, black holes and splitting the atom to how to draw, Shakespeare's life, and Greek myths and legends. She knows a lot about conservation in the rain forests of Costa Rica as she once volunteered there for three months. She likes space, sewing and music, plays the trombone and loves going camping. Lee Cosgrove is a children's illustrator from a small town on the banks of the River Mersey. A lifelong doodler, his love of drawing is inspired by a childhood of Saturday morning cartoons, den-building adventures and an endless supply of crayons. Working as a full time illustrator for the last 10 years, Lee has enjoyed working on a wide range of projects from illustrating picture books, to board games to billboards. He loves to bring humour and lots of character to his illustrations.
