This reference book about the human body provides in-depth information that is presented in a visually appealing manner. Also included is the free digital companion book - Be a Brainiac - that can be downloaded. This digital book provides information on boosting your brainpower.
Each region of the body is covered using a variety of 3D photos, artwork, charts, sidebars and clearly written informational text that reflects current medical research.
The copy is presented in various formats such as a Q&A sidebar in all the sections that answers interesting questions children may have such as, "Why don't ballet dancers get dizzy?". A glossary and index are also included.
