If you think scientists are dull, boring egg-heads in white coats who
hang about in labs and don’t have any friends… then you’re wrong. The big
brainiacs of history were extraordinary clever, but that doesn’t mean they were
always right. They made mistakes, they argued, they performed strange
experiments. They took risks, they broke the rules, they were dangerous… They
were rebels.
This gorgeously gross interactive book is packed with fun facts on
farts, snot, vomit, wee, spit and more bodily excretions! Find out how much
snot we swallow in a year, how many times we fart in a lifetime, and whether
it’s really true that some people use urine as a mouthwash...
How fast do fingernails grow? How does breathing work?
What’s really going on under the skin? In this first-information book, the
first in the Little Explorers series, getting the answer is as easy as lifting
the flaps. Discover the human body inside and out!
Welcome to the Museum, in the first of a series that brings a
beautifully illustrated curated collection of exhibits together. This iconic
book features a different branch of life in each chapter, from the simple
sponge to the enormous elephant – no budding natural historian should be
without this book!
The fifth title in the How It Works series, this covers billions of
years from the formation of the universe to the modern day in a whistle-stop
pop up history of the planet. As well as delving
into the past, the book also encourages young readers to think for themselves
about the future of the planet. It is sure to delight and inspire budding young
scientists.
