Illustrated by
Daniel Nelson.
Common questions children may have about their bodies are included in this lively, quick-paced book. Readers will learn the purpose of baby teeth, what causes wrinkly skin while bathing, why cilantro tastes like soap to some, and many other things. Each question is answered in simple, kid-friendly language. A virus is described as a “tiny germ that can make you sick.” The digital illustrations in bright, bold colors are often humorous. A glossary and index are appended.
