I'm (still) a young people's librarian and can attest to the drawing power of grossology.

The most popular book in the juvenile cookery section is *It's Disgusting -- and we Ate It!* (no lie.)

Muscially I'm sure you all remember Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
GuessI'll eat a worm,
Short ones, fat ones, long ones, skinny ones
Guess I'll eat a worm.

Other popular ... oh, never mind. Go to your local library and your very own librarian will fill you in.
