This illustrated encyclopedia helps children understand how the human body works by answering everyday questions like, "What's inside the body?", "Why do we have belly buttons?", and "What happens when you catch a cold?"

Packed with charts and quizzes, it's a fun way to learn about how the body works. Another unique feature of this book is the inclusion of the sex education topic, "What are private parts?"
