Our body is something we can easily take for granted. But if we ask ourselves how it works, a fascinating world emerges. How does the heart pump blood? How do our eyes see? What does the inside of a bone look like? How do we fight germs? In all its color and complexity, the human body is brought alive in the pages of this book. Large, cutaway illustrations by Steve Weston provide an insight into the workings of the body. The text, by Dr Kate Barnes, guides us through each system in the body, describing how it functions and how the systems work together. Both fun and informative, this book is ideal for the young reader.
