Follow your food on its gooey, chewy, rumble, plop journey through your body! This irreverent pop-up guide is a fascinatingly fun read for any child. It's a fantastic companion for anyone studying science at Key Stage 1 & 2 - where children are taught about parts of the body, how we grow, why humans need food, and the benefits of a healthy balanced diet.
This book is stuffed with scrumptious illustrations, over 30 mouth-watering pop-ups and easy-to-digest text. Children will especially love the cover, complete with a touch n' feel slimy tongue - ew!

But what gruesome changes happen in between?

Format:Hardcover
What a bizarre book. The title, for all its incomprehensibility, really does the book justice.
The tone of the book is set by the front cover which has a realistic looking and feeling stretchy tongue. Each of the subsequent double pages (note that there are only 5 double spreads/10 pages in the book) has a wealth of visual and interactive detail. There are numerous flaps to lift, books within books, pop-ups, things to pull or twist. The pages are bright and the illustrations cheery and great for children.
The content is clever. It presents accurate facts about the mouth (types and locations of tastebuds), oesophagus, stomach and intestines. The biology and function of each area is presented accessibly. The last double page has some predictable toilet humour which appeals to all children.
I would imagine that this book is targeted at around the 7-9 year old age bracket for independent reading. However, I'll be giving a copy to my 4 year-old for Christmas as he will adore the tongue and bits to lift. He may even learn some simple biology as I read and/or paraphrase some sections for him.

My daughter loves this book, she's four, but it would be suitable for an older child. The illustrations are bright and witty with loads of flaps which pull out to reaveal the workings of the body. See food pass from mouth to toilet with all parts covered in an eductional, but humourous fashion.

This has got to be my 5 year old's most favourite book of all times. There is so much to learn in this book and every time we read it we discover yet another flap and another piece of useful information or a fun fact. Its fantastic for this age group as they find most of the "ewww" stuff very funny and interesting. I learned some new things reading it as well!
