Product Description

Product Description

Everything you need to know about the human body - in a quirky package

Open up the shiny cover and show your child how all the bony, bloody and squelchy goings on inside their bodies make it work.

They'll get the lowdown on everything from human cells and senses to brain structure and body systems. Take a trip through the history of medicine and body science from Hippocrates to the Human Genome Project. Find out more about left-handedness, memory tricks and what sensory skills are needed to be a professional food taster!

Quirky twists and concepts tick the side-splitting box - where else are they going to find the digestive system modelled out of balloons, dinosaurs checking out a human skeleton in a museum, or a cartoon strip telling the story of the discovery of penicillin?

A gutsy, cheeky, sick, hip, nosey, heady, handy, mouth-watering and eye-catching look at the human body!

4.0 out of 5 stars A clever and diverse book about the human body, 29 Jan 2010
By 
April Slocombe (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Open Me Up (Dk) (Hardcover)
My copy of this book is called 'The Human Body Book.'I decided to buy it because it has over 200 pages, I'm fascinated by the human body and I thought it'd be very detailed. This is one human body book unlike any other and some systems, such as the digestive system as a balloon model and the circulatory system as a London Underground map, are cleverly depicted without losing their informative charm. There are also comic strips and optical illusions as well as a light sense of humour. This is a very good book for any reader aged nine and above.

5.0 out of 5 stars A most welcome gift, 26 Sep 2011
By 
Ms A. Breen (Coventry, U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Open Me Up (Dk) (Hardcover)
One of my daughters was given this as a gift and was delighted with it. We read the book together from cover to cover and we both enjoyed it thoroughly. The book is full of facts presented in humourous and zany ways. The educational content is high and the diagrams are excellent.

This book is filled with amazing facts about the body but told in an enjoyable way with great illustrations.
Have given it to various children and they have all seemed to love it. This a fun and informative way
to learn about the body.
