Aimed at readers nine and up, \u003ci\u003eStuff You Need to Know About the Human Body\u003c\/i\u003e follows teams of tiny people as they run around performing the actions explained in the text. Stops are made at all of the body's organs, processes, and systems, from the hippocampus to blood to DNA and ear wax.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Readers will discover answers to the questions they didn't know they had, like:   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cli\u003e what exactly happened when I broke my leg? \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e why did my Dad have a heart attack? \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e why do I feel so awful when I get the flu? \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e what are goosebumps? \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e why am I supposed to drink a lot of water? \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cp\u003e  The 80-page extent allows for an in-depth look at many of the body's processes, and the four double gatefolds give a large space in which to show the circulatory, skeletal, immune, and digestive systems. Readers can learn that they have two skeletal systems; what each neighborhood in the brain does; why veins look blue if blood is red; and if they want to, they can follow their dinner as it goes from the tongue to the gut to, well, the very end.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e  Packed with authoritative information presented humorously and with a light touch of accurate scientific terminology, this is a fabulous browser for all young readers.   \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Farndon","offers":[{"title":"Firefly Books |  Paperback \/ softback | Trade paperback (US) |  2017-08-15","offer_id":46011518124287,"sku":"9781770859814","price":14.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_ceee317f-6c1d-4aa3-b58b-de0a6483abfb.jpg?v=1723062336","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781770859814","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
