I Feel Better with a Frog in My Throat - Carlyn Beccia

If you lived in Ancient Egypt, your parents would have put moldy bread on your cuts. If you were an ancient Native American with a stomach ache, you might have been fed dirt. In medieval Europe, your doctor would have prescribed an earthworm necklace for a sore throat. Learn about these and other cures in I FEEL BETTER WITH A FROG IN MY THROAT: History’s Strangest Cures (Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, $17.99). For each ailment, author and illustrator Carlyn Beccia provides several cures and their origins. Readers can guess whether the cures worked before they turn the page and find out. Ages 6-10. HWP
