The "ZigZag" books are designed to introduce a subject to kindergarten and first grade kids in a way that will capture their imaginations, and encourage them to ZigZag down other paths to find out more, all with a healthy dose of humor and irreverance guaranteed to get their attention. Written in easy-to-read language, and illustrated by photographs that have been artfully, humorously amended to clarify or illuminate, this book is an introduction to the organ called skin that holds us in! The author has found the most interesting, thought provoking aspects of skin for young readers - the holes it has, the fact that it stretches and shrinks, all the beautiful colours it comes in and more. Once you start learning about human skin, you can ZigZag to...do a skin pinch experiment, look for animals with different colored skin (Polar bears have black skin!)
