About this book
This hilariously irreverent guide turns the human body inside out with goofy diagrams, wild explanations, and totally made-up 'facts.' Andy Griffiths and Terry Denton deliver rapid-fire jokes and cartoons that make kids giggle while they explore everything from noses to toes. Short, punchy sections and lots of illustrations make it perfect for reluctant readers and fans of silly, gross-out humor. Great for ages 8–12 who love the Treehouse books and comedy-packed reads.
Setting: inside the human body (comedic reference-style guide)
