About this title

Review

"The illustrations in Enjoy Your Cells are fantastic....this is no boring biology textbook. Rolph's illustrations are rich with color and many have entertaining text bubbles....The book is jam-packed with information for both kids and parents. I'm a biologist and I learned new things from the book. Balkwill works hard to make all this material accessible to young minds...The book certainly made a lasting impression on my daughter....She...even asked to bring the book to her preschool. It's pretty neat to see how Enjoy Your Cells has given her a new way of looking at the living world." - The Washington Post

Synopsis

Beneath your skin there is an amazing hidden world of living cells. Millions and millions of cells work together, to make eveything that is you. But did you know that you started life as just one tiny cell? And did you know that everything that lives on Planet Earth is also made of these cells? The "Enjoy Your Cells" series offers children a simple but scientifically accurate commentary, complemented with colourful graphics to take young readers on an entertaining exploration of the amazing, hidden world of cells, proteins, and DNA. With these books, children should learn to enjoy their cells and current affairs at the same time, in addition to getting information that has been written and reviewed by working scientists.
