  This is an innovative new body series with commissioned photos and detailed anatomical illustrations to show children how their bodies work inside and out. They can find out how they move, eat, see, think and feel. The series looks at what goes on inside the body during everyday activities such as riding a bike, eating an apple, reading a book or doing a sum. Each book shows how the body can become ill and how to keep healthy. There are also explanations of common disabilities. How do you move? What happens inside your body when you jump in the air or pull a face? This book shows how bones, joints and muscles work and how people get their energy to move. It includes information on how the brain sends messages around the body to allow us to make lots of different movements. Children can also read about how injuries occur and how the body repairs itself.
