Gr 2-4This general overview addresses the subject of animal secretions. The text briefly introduces a few organisms that produce mucus or slime and explains how these substances can improve the creatures' chances of survival. For instance, slugs and snails travel on a protective, lubricant layer of slime that also helps keep their bodies moist. The last part of the book consists of miscellanya page of marginally humorous jokes, a science experiment, two recipes for "edible slime," and a short story. Vivid watercolor paintings illustrate the text on almost every page; many are double-page spreads with the text overlaying the illustrations in white print. There are some drawbacks. The experiment involves sealing various vegetable and plant materials in a plastic bag and waiting until the contents become slimy. There is no explanation, however, of what the results are supposed to demonstrate. The inclusion of jokes and recipes in a science book is questionable, and the short story is downright silly. Ginny Johnston's Slippery Babies (Morrow, 1991); Cheryl Halton's Those Amazing Eels (Dillon, 1990); and Jennifer Coldry's Discovering Slugs and Snails (Bookwright, 1987; o.p.) are excellent introductions that offer more in-depth information on some of the same animals. Young fiction readers with a taste for the truly gross will get a bigger kick out of Babette Cole's The Slimy Book (Random, 1986; o.p.).Karey Wehner, San Francisco Public Library (c) Copyright 2010.

Jackson's theme is that slime is useful. Slime keeps snails from injuring themselves on bumpy surfaces, helps eels to avoid prey, and coats the inside of the human mouth and throat. The Aztecs dried and ate slimy algae. With so little to say, the book switches over to slime jokes, recipes, and a monster story about two-thirds of the way through. The illustrations add little information or appeal. Bib. (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
Kirkus评论
``Slime is anything that is oily, greasy, goopy and gross,'' says Jackson (The Precious Gift, 1996, etc.) before she goes on to describe the function of some slime found in nature: egg white, protecting the yolk; frog eggs attached to plants, warming in the sun; human saliva, facilitating a host of processes (this last discussion--one page of the book--may be why the title is catalogued in 611 with human anatomy). Not content with slime in nature, the author continues with a discussion of ancient Aztec algae slime bread; a page of slime jokes; an activity (making slime in a sealed plastic lunch bag); a recipe for slime pie; and a gross story. Jackson loads her text with short, expressive words: mucky, yucky, squirmy, grimy gunk. The scientific information is interesting but superficial; this is not the definitive text on slime, but a complement to such standards as Vicki Cobb's Gobs of Goo (1983). Apt illustrations--phlegmy fingers dripping goo, snails on a knife edge--complete the intentionally odious presentation. Place this book with its green and black slimy cover face-out and it will simply ooze off the shelves. (bibliography) (Picture book/nonfiction. 6-10)

Gr. 2^-4. "Slime is slippery. Slime is squirmy. Slime is anything that is oily, greasy, goopy, and gross." Many adults won't care to know more, but primary graders will probably find this an enticing introduction. Further along, they will learn about the many ways animals use slime and about sliminess in humans (saliva and mucus). Also included are slimy jokes, a recipe for making both inedible and edible slime, and a short story about a boy who turns into slime himself. The fun tone and content are echoed in Ellis' illustrations, which have just the right level of disgustingness to satisfy kids without nauseating adults. This is a good selection to convince new readers that reading is entertaining and informative. --Susan Dove Lempke
