Booklist (starred review)
"This Norwegian import is icky and unsettling even while being a
guffaw-inducing exploration of the human body, complete with
comically exaggerated anatomical drawings of what lurks beneath our
skin. Beyond the guaranteed giggles, Kuhn adds a subtle teaching
moment: by presenting Samira with dark skin and her best friend
with lighter skin, and then showing both of their skeletons (and
later, somewhat horrifyingly, muscles), Kuhn highlights how much we
are the same underneath." Publishers Weekly
"Tenderhearted kids may be freaked out by the book's moderately
disturbing images, but scientifically curious ones (and those with
a mischievous streak) should appreciate Kuhn's directness."
