Enter the busy world of the Brainwaves for an anatomical adventure around the human body. This bustling army of miniature guides explores the body in all its gory detail with a constant stream of bad jokes and witty asides. Fold-out pages reveal different systems of the body from a slick suit of muscles that enfolds the skeleton to an invading phalanx of bacteria, viruses and other bugs that breaches the body’s defences. Brimming with quirky facts and surprising statistics, it is ideal for dipping into in short bursts. In fact there is so much going on that it is sometimes hard to keep one’s focus, but the child who pores over Where’s Wally? is sure to enjoy this book.
