I Wonder Why My Tummy Rumbles and other questions about my body

Brigid Avison
(Kingfisher Books Ltd)
32pp, NON FICTION, 978-0753407585, RRP £2.99, Paperback
5-8 Infant/Junior
I Wonder Why series
Buy "I Wonder Why My Tummy Rumbles and Other Questions About My Body (I wonder why series)" on Amazon

Part of a cheerful question-and-answer series for younger readers, this particular title provides a straightforward introduction to the workings of the human body. Cartoons and cutaway artworks sit alongside suitably pitched text for the Key Stage 1 age group, with extended captions answering such questions as 'What are germs?' or 'Why do I blink?'. Nothing remarkable or outstanding to offend either. If it all looks vaguely familiar, this series has in fact been around for nearly ten years, but is reissued here in a more compact format. At £2.99 it represents good value resource material for school and classroom libraries.
