  A light-hearted look at some of the substances which we spread on our sandwiches, pour over a salad and use to clean the dishes. Delightfully messy experiments include making butter and mayonnaise, sticking papers together with jam and blowing bubbles in egg white. The book also introduces some of the sticky substances inside the human body and explains how saliva helps us to digest our food. This book is one of a series which attempts to encourage young children to look closely at their surroundings, ask questions about their discoveries and try simple experiments to find out how and why things happen.
