Description
Ladies and gentlemen, may I present you toyour body! This is human anatomy like you've never seen it before! Subtitled "The All-Singing, All-Dancing Anatomy Extravaganza, the show is hosted by a skeleton on a stage. He introduces all the systems of the human body: skeletal, muscular, respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, excretory, endocrine, reproductive, immune, and nervous; and explores the senses. Complex anatomical terms and processes are explained in an easily understandable way, accompanied by detailed illustrations. Each process is explained from the ground up, so you can see how the information builds upon itself and understand how the whole system works in a very intricate way. With a graphic novel type feel, witty and entertaining text, adorable characters (who knew they could make oxygen molecules adorable?), endless colorful illustrations, and tons of solid information, you can't help but be enthralled. Your kids will want to read this one just for fun! 233 pgs, pb. ~ Megan
