A rash? A pulled muscle or a sprained ankle? Disease by disease and injury by injury, this basic medical text takes young readers through various ailments, breaking each one down into a simple explanation of the problem. There's \"First Response\"--what the child can do to help alleviate the situation; \"What Your Doctor Does\"—which sometimes includes the advice that a doctor may not be necessary in many cases; \"What Your Body Does\"—the physiological response to the problem; and \"What You Can Do to Prevent…\"—common-sense health and safety advice. Often-humorous cartoon illustrations are featured on nearly every spread, along with high-quality color photographs of various ailments (sprained ankle, conjunctivitis, etc.).

An Ouch! Painscale is included in this section. The section also contains information on the immune system called \"The Warriors\" and on various body invaders called \"The Bad Guys\" that cause problems. The rest of the book focuses on injuries, infections, and other things that can go wrong, including everything from splinters, blisters, and bruises, to burns, cuts, rashes, and poison ivy. Broken bones, sprains, and pulled muscles are described, as are allergies, headaches, and fevers. After a description of each particular ailment and possible causes, there is a section called First Response, then a paragraph entitled \"What Your Doctor Does\", followed by \"What Your Body Does, and then \"What you can Do\" either to prevent or to treat this kind of ailment. This is followed by an icon from the PainScale that would indicate how much this particular ailment hurts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach section is filled with brightly colored illustrations and photographs. The book ends with an extensive glossary and an index. This book would be of great interest to children, and could be a supplementary book either in a classroom, a public library, or in the school library. It could possibly allay some fears and help children to understand many of the possible common ailments. A better understanding of the parlance used to describe various disorders could help parents and physicians to understand the complaints of an ailing child, and help the child to communicate symptoms to appropriate adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhatigan describes the different ways in which humans become sick or injured, along with how the human body reacts and what can be done to help the healing process. An appropriate disclaimer cautions readers that the book is not intended to be used for self-diagnosis and encourages children to seek an adult when something is wrong. The medical information and terms are clearly explained. Colorful chapter and topic headings nicely organize the information into logical sections. Rhatigan covers parts of the body, bacteria and viruses, poisonous plants, bruises, bleeding, and more. In addition to including the symptoms, the author details how a doctor would treat the problem. Ways to prevent the illness\/injury from getting worse are noted, along with a somewhat subjective scale rating the levels of pain readers might feel when experiencing each medical issue. A hefty combination of photographs, diagrams, and drawings augments the informative text, but not all the images are captioned. Owsley uses lots of color in his expressive, playful, and at times cartoon artwork. Unfortunately, the appended glossary does not give pronunciations for terms. The helpful index and table of contents, however, are a plus. Rhatigan and Owsley transform what could be a dry subject into a lively, educational read for children who are curious about common ailments and injuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/ouch-cvr.jpg?7025580958043239334\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/ouch-hires.zip?6766797642387626756\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-053-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-669-2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 8-12\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 80\u003cbr\u003e10 x 9\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]","published_at":"2015-08-05T17:08:00-04:00","created_at":"2015-08-05T16:31:31-04:00","vendor":"Imagine Publishing","type":"Children's Book","tags":["Browse by Age_Ages 6-10","Browse by Age_Middle Grade","Browse by Fiction\/Nonfiction_Nonfiction","Browse by Format_Chapter Book","Browse by Language_English","Browse by Subject_Early Childhood","Browse by Subject_Health \u0026 Beauty","Browse by Subject_Life Lessons \u0026 Skills","Browse by Subject_Science \u0026 Nature"],"price":498,"price_min":498,"price_max":498,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":995,"compare_at_price_min":995,"compare_at_price_max":995,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":5340536897,"title":"Paperback","option1":"Paperback","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"40531","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":false,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Ouch! - Paperback","public_title":"Paperback","options":["Paperback"],"price":498,"weight":380,"compare_at_price":995,"inventory_quantity":9,"inventory_management":"shopify","inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"978-1-62354-053-1","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/ouch-cover.jpg?v=1586800674"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/ouch-cover.jpg?v=1586800674","options":["Title"],"media":[{"alt":"Ouch! book cover","id":2481611407439,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.889,"height":675,"width":600,"src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/ouch-cover.jpg?v=1586800674"},"aspect_ratio":0.889,"height":675,"media_type":"image","src":"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/products\/ouch-cover.jpg?v=1586800674","width":600}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan size=\"4\" style=\"font-size: large;\"\u003eOuch!\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan size=\"3\" style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eThe Weird \u0026amp; Wild Ways Your Body Deals with Agonizing Aches, Ferocious Fevers, Lousy Lumps, Crummy Colds, Bothersome Bites, Breaks, Bruises \u0026amp; Burns\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER AUTHOR\/ILLUSTRATOR INFO BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/joe-rhatigan\" title=\"Joe Rhatigan bio\"\u003eJoe Rhatigan\u003c\/a\u003e \/ Illustrated by: \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.charlesbridge.com\/pages\/anthony-owsley\" title=\"Anthony Owsley bio\"\u003eAnthony Owsley\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - ENTER HEADING BELOW - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOuch!

Photo captions are presented in a small, pale orange, italicized text that's challenging to read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA generally attractive and entertaining medical reference that will appeal to inquiring minds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNSTA Recommends\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is packed with 80 pages of information about possible painful conditions that can affect humans, both inside and out.

An Ouch! Painscale is included in this section. The section also contains information on the immune system called \"The Warriors\" and on various body invaders called \"The Bad Guys\" that cause problems. The rest of the book focuses on injuries, infections, and other things that can go wrong, including everything from splinters, blisters, and bruises, to burns, cuts, rashes, and poison ivy. Broken bones, sprains, and pulled muscles are described, as are allergies, headaches, and fevers. After a description of each particular ailment and possible causes, there is a section called First Response, then a paragraph entitled \"What Your Doctor Does\", followed by \"What Your Body Does, and then \"What you can Do\" either to prevent or to treat this kind of ailment. This is followed by an icon from the PainScale that would indicate how much this particular ailment hurts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach section is filled with brightly colored illustrations and photographs. The book ends with an extensive glossary and an index. This book would be of great interest to children, and could be a supplementary book either in a classroom, a public library, or in the school library. It could possibly allay some fears and help children to understand many of the possible common ailments. A better understanding of the parlance used to describe various disorders could help parents and physicians to understand the complaints of an ailing child, and help the child to communicate symptoms to appropriate adults.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhatigan describes the different ways in which humans become sick or injured, along with how the human body reacts and what can be done to help the healing process. An appropriate disclaimer cautions readers that the book is not intended to be used for self-diagnosis and encourages children to seek an adult when something is wrong. The medical information and terms are clearly explained. Colorful chapter and topic headings nicely organize the information into logical sections. Rhatigan covers parts of the body, bacteria and viruses, poisonous plants, bruises, bleeding, and more. In addition to including the symptoms, the author details how a doctor would treat the problem. Ways to prevent the illness\/injury from getting worse are noted, along with a somewhat subjective scale rating the levels of pain readers might feel when experiencing each medical issue. A hefty combination of photographs, diagrams, and drawings augments the informative text, but not all the images are captioned. Owsley uses lots of color in his expressive, playful, and at times cartoon artwork. Unfortunately, the appended glossary does not give pronunciations for terms. The helpful index and table of contents, however, are a plus. Rhatigan and Owsley transform what could be a dry subject into a lively, educational read for children who are curious about common ailments and injuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DOWNLOADABLES BELOW - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloadables\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/ouch-cvr.jpg?7025580958043239334\" style=\"display: block; float: none; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"btn-wrapper\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0750\/0101\/files\/ouch-hires.zip?6766797642387626756\" class=\"product-btn\"\u003eDownload the Cover\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- - - - - - - - - - - - ENTER DETAILS BELOW - - - - - - - - - - - --\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDetails\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaperback\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-62354-053-1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eE-book PDF\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN: 978-1-60734-669-2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 8-12\u003cbr\u003ePage count: 80\u003cbr\u003e10 x 9\u003c\/p\u003e\n[\/TABS]"}
