If you are a fan of the podcast series then this book is a must！ Just like the podcast this book is filled with interesting fun facts and humour from the hosts with the most Guy Raz， Mindy and Reggie。Every part of the body inside and outside is covered off; from the hair on your head to the nails on your toes including bodily functions （gas， sweat and poop）。 There is even a good （but not super in depth if you are concerned） section about reproduction and puberty。Also I may have read the entire b If you are a fan of the podcast series then this book is a must！ Just like the podcast this book is filled with interesting fun facts and humour from the hosts with the most Guy Raz， Mindy and Reggie。Every part of the body inside and outside is covered off; from the hair on your head to the nails on your toes including bodily functions （gas， sweat and poop）。 There is even a good （but not super in depth if you are concerned） section about reproduction and puberty。Also I may have read the entire book with the voices of the hosts in my head。Highly recommended for kids （and parents not going to lie this adult learned some new things。 Like the origin of the word muscle！） who love science， or want to learn more about how the body works。 。。。more

This is really cute and informative， and I really liked the art style of it。 I think it's definitely one we'll want to explore in depth together in our homeschool， and my daughter seemed to enjoy it as much as she enjoys the podcast！ There's quite a few facts for each area of the body being discussed， but not huge blocks of text with too much going on for the elementary set。 The reproduction chapter is not as in depth as I was expecting based off other reviews， it only mentions that the two type This is really cute and informative， and I really liked the art style of it。 I think it's definitely one we'll want to explore in depth together in our homeschool， and my daughter seemed to enjoy it as much as she enjoys the podcast！ There's quite a few facts for each area of the body being discussed， but not huge blocks of text with too much going on for the elementary set。 The reproduction chapter is not as in depth as I was expecting based off other reviews， it only mentions that the two types of reproductive cells need to meet to create an embryo on it's way to becoming a baby， which is definitely in line with what my 2nd grader already knows。 。。。more

A heavily illustrated， hilarious， and informative tour of the human body from the team that celebrates the wonders of our natural world。 Visually engaging with fact-filled content that should hold high appeal for young readers。 Pop-out sections and short chapters lend to its approachable format -- kids could skip around read it based on interest and not necessarily in order as it is written。 Hefty backmatter will please librarians and educators。 This is definitely a book that will fly out of bin A heavily illustrated， hilarious， and informative tour of the human body from the team that celebrates the wonders of our natural world。 Visually engaging with fact-filled content that should hold high appeal for young readers。 Pop-out sections and short chapters lend to its approachable format -- kids could skip around read it based on interest and not necessarily in order as it is written。 Hefty backmatter will please librarians and educators。 This is definitely a book that will fly out of bins and get passed kid to kid！ 。。。more

This is the perfect combination of weird and factual about the human body and how it works。 Elementary-aged kids will absolutely love this informational book！ Fun， cartoony illustrations make it visually appealing， too。
