Synopsis:
Jennifer Berne takes children on a tour of the human body to reveal the wonders of how it works -- with some astonishing numbers and fascinating facts along the way.
Kids will discover what makes the human body tick, from our eyes to our toes.

- Our tongues have 8,000 taste buds but can detect only five flavours.
- We have 60,000 miles of blood vessels to circle the world more than twice!
With such remarkable facts and numbers and vivid informative illustrations by Dawn DeVries Sokol, this book takes your child on an entertainingly educational journey through the wonders of the human body.
