Publisher Description: Read and find out about reflexes--including sneezing, shivering, hiccupping, and yawning--in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book. Have you ever wondered what makes you sneeze when you're in a dusty room? Or shiver when you get out of the bathtub? Or yawn when you're tired? All of these actions are reflexes.
