Jam-packed with information — grown-ups will learn from this book, too! It's written by a doctor with more than thirty years experience treating children and families.
The latest addition to the popular You Can't... series focuses on common illnesses that affect children. Fred Ehrlich explains what makes you sick in easy-to-understand prose. He makes distinctions, such as between bacteria and virus, clear. At once engaging and sympathetic, Dr. Ehrlich touches on everyday illnesses such as: tummy aches, vomiting, diarrhea, colds and flu, warts and pimples, and various allergies.
In the time-tested format that made You Can't Taste a Pickle with Your Ear so funny, the book includes humorous verse to complement the matter-of-fact text and is delightfully punctuated by Amanda Haley's madcap illustrations to ensure a tone that is at once light and reassuring. In fact, Dr. Ehrlich is careful not to frighten children, reminding us all that most of the time our bodies work just fine, and that even when we're sick, our bodies usually get well by themselves.
The reader is introduced to common illnesses and their causes.

You Can't Take Your Body to a Repair Shop
I suppose this book is ok if you're looking for something seriously educational for an older child, but it's way too overwhelming for a kid who still likes picture books. I was expecting this to be similar to the other books in the Fred Ehrlich series, combining humor and information in a child-friendly way, but with words like "lesions" and "isolate," even my first-grader lost interest quickly. The Magic School Bus series does a great job tackling this kind of suject matter in a way that engages young kids and doesn't talk over their heads, so I think we'll stick with that route. I would really only pick up this book again to teach something specific, such as Blisters, Bites, and Other Skin Troubles NOT Caused by Germs, on an as-needed basis (there's a table of contents).
