"Smelly Science" is a series that uses your sense of smell to make sense of science! Your most primitive sense makes finding out about the world around you fun. Four scratch-and-sniff panels in each book combine with text and illustrations, to bring to your nostrils the joys of our breathtaking bodies, aromatic animals, pungent plants, and messy medicine. In "Messy Medicine", festering flesh and pills for all ills? There's more to messy medicine here, with all the ways we cope with ghastly germs and deadly diseases, from juicy jabs to oozing operations - and some more aromatic alternatives.
