Almost all good

I could have done without the chapter on boogers at the end, because I thought it was gross. The guy also does some weird accents. He’s not very good at accents, so it sounds like he’s making fun of them or something. This has a lot of very interesting information, though, and I think that kids especially would enjoy it.
