Customer Reviews

Great book for children and adults to learn about the body with lightness and humor. My grandsons an

My grandsons and I shared reading and laughed out loud. The colorful text blocks and illustrations are great. This book allows the human experience to be seen with science and appreciation. Farts and burps are not viewed as disgusting-it’s all part of the human experience. The podcast cited is great too. A way to learn about science and human interaction in all forms, shapes, and sizes.
