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. From our eyes to our toes, kids will find out what makes the human body tick. They'll discover that our hearts beat 100,000 times a day, which equals 36 million times a year. And that our tongue's 8,000 taste buds can detect only 5 flavours. And that we have 60,000 miles of blood vessels, enough 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.
