Review:

"By using plenty of relatable examples and appealing images, Parker and Haslam have created a winning introduction to human biology and confirm that, if delivered in a kid-friendly manner, no topic is too complex." - Booklist

"Even the broccoli and green peas sport happy smiles on their way down the hatch in this effervescent tour of human body systems....should leave young tourists with a taste for further outings into their innards." - Kirkus Reviews
