Human anatomy has never been as entertaining as this look at a day in the busy human body factory. From the CEO sending out orders in the brain to "waste" being sorted and delivered out of the body at the other end, the busy workers who keep everything running smoothly introduce each ‘department.' All the major systems are covered, and the ingenious illustrations are packed with humorous details that kids will love to pore over. All of this amazing artwork is backed up with fascinating facts and clear explanations of the body's essential processes. Whether it's toxic signs and workers wearing biohazard suits in the large intestine, lab workers in dinghies mixing gastric juices in the stomach with a giant whisk, or park keepers on the skin keeping things clean among glades of gently swaying hairs and sweat-gland sprinklers, we promise that kids will never think about their bodies in the same way again.

The Human Body Factory: The Nuts and Bolts of Your Insides Reviews

  • Jennifer

    Very cool. The intricate drawings of the body and the idea of itty-bitty people carrying out all of the tasks of keeping that body in good working order is funny, interesting and a good way to learn about this kind of stuff. Both of the small turkeys and I have spent a great deal of time poring over this book - it will appeal both to kids who are interested in science and also those who love books with lots of little details (Richard Scarry comes to mind, altho this book is for older kids). Very much recommended.

  • Jeanne Williams

    Magic school bus on steroids. Illustrations are interesting and complex. Information provided in text bubbles. Glossary, index, and a three-page foldout that pulls the whole text together. Grat for a unit on the human body.

  • Lynae

    A very fun view of the body. My 8 year old son enjoyed the drawings, descriptions and even humor found in this informative and interesting book.

  • Elaine Conway

    Very complex images may put off some adult readers, and high vocabulary may be difficult, however kids will enjoy looking at this book alone and getting to know all about their bodies.

  • Ellie

    Great detailed illustrations. The kind of book you can stare at for hours.

    4-7th grade

  • Jean
