Synopsis

Take a fascinating tour through the incredible body, and discover all the things that make a human – from the weird to the wonderful!

Meet the Builderbots – the best building crew in the universe! They can build just about anything.... but can they build a human?

Packed with facts about the human body – from what the tiniest bone in our body is to why we have nostril hairs – this is the perfect book for budding scientists.

• The biggest human muscle is the gluteus maximus. There are two of them in your bottom which help with standing, walking and moving.
• You don't have hair growing on your lips, hand palms, foot soles and eyelids
• When you go to sleep your brain doesn't stop. It carries on keeping you alive and it also creates dreams.
• Your ears help you balance. The brain senses the liquid sloshing this way and that inside your ear tubes, and it works our which way your head is moving.
• A resting human heart beats around seventy times per minute.
