Science Author Melissa Stewart Shares All Things ICK in Her Latest National Geographic Kids Book
Melissa Stewart has the dream job. This prolific author gets to write about crazy, bizarre and yes, disgusting things critters do in nature. Tune in to this special episode of the Oh Behave Show on Pet Life Radio as Stewart tells host Arden Moore the unexpected ways critters use poop, pee and spit. She shares examples from her must-get book, "Ick! Delightfully Disgusting Animal Dinners, Dwellings and Defenses." I promise you will never look at a honeybee, turkey vulture or Texas Horned Lizard the same way.
