Some of your blood cells find germs and eat them whole. And the smallest bone you own is buried inside your own ear.Every chapter in this book starts with the grossest true fact about one part of you. Then it explains exactly what is going on in there and why. Then you get to test it yourself at the kitchen table.INSIDE THIS BOOKTwelve chapters covering skin, digestion, bones, blood and marrow, the heart, the brain, nerves, lungs, the immune system, the senses, muscles, and kidneysTwelve safe experiments using string, paper, pepper and a glass of water, with no heat, no chemicals and nothing sharp in a child’s handsTwelve activity spreads with quizzes, word scrambles, true-or-false rounds and match-ups, plus a complete answer keyComic strips in every chapter and clearly labelled diagrams of every body systemA glossary of every strange word, a wacky facts index, and a note for grown-upsWHY PARENTS AND TEACHERS TRUST ITEvery fact comes from published, medically reviewed sources for young readers, and they are all listed at the back.
