But then a giant green creature oozed out of the muck and gobbled them all up! And what did that horrible thing spit out? This book--Creature Feature! It’s bubbling over with more than 400 pages of blood-curdling facts, gut-wrenching activities, cringe-inducing jokes, and head-spinning true stories--all made even more icky by all the freaky photographs and illustrations.

Cover of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader Takes a Swing at Baseball
Why is baseball such a great subject for a Bathroom Reader? Because it's steeped in history and tradition, it's rife with scandals and controversy, and most of the men that dedicate their life to it are just a little bit weird. Uncle John's spirited take on the game takes you deep into that history to paint a detailed picture of where the game came from and where it may be going. You'll go behind the scenes at spring training, listen in on pitcher's mound conferences, and meet the players, coaches, fans, and broadcasters who make this the greatest game in the world! Swing for the fences as you read about
