Human biology, one curious question at a time

Emma Young’s 33-question format turns the human body into a collection of approachable science topics, ranging from blood vessels and the brain to nerves and nutrients. The questions are deliberately unusual, including the one named in the title, and the answers weave in key facts. Short sections make the book easy to dip into, while photography and cartoon-style illustrations accompany the explanations. Its subject matter stays grounded in anatomy and biology, with humor used to introduce topics that children might otherwise find odd or gross.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children interested in how the human body works
  • Young readers who enjoy unusual or gross-out science questions
  • Families seeking short, browsable nonfiction about biology
