I LOVE THIS BOOK

I Loved this book. I would pick one story a day and read it to my 6th graders and they would beg me to read more.

Good, Fun, Interesting Information!

I found this book very entertaining and interesting and the average intermediate student will too! It's good to have books that demystify and entertain at the same time. A person will learn a lot more from this book than from a dry textbook. Thanks!

Incredible and educational--highly recommended!!

This book is fascinating in how it discusses the many complexities of the human body; i could hardly put it down. It gives a recipe for such struggles as diarrhea (e.g. 1/2 tsp. honey, pinch of salt, and 1 cup apple juice together then stir & drink it down). Other trivia include such details as to how long the small intestine is (23 ft.) or when you sleep you burn 65 calories an hour. Another fun one for all of us stress living humans, "stress can cause the muscles to tighten making you want to "go". Humans have 16 million smell sensors; a rabbit has 100 million. Definitely a book all ages can appreciate and "wow" over as we appreciate the wonderful machine, the human body that we live in.
