Dr Emily MacDonagh Books

In this human anatomy fact book for younger children, Dr Emily shows us just how extraordinary our ordinary bodies are.

Beautifully laid out, with big bold central illustrations, the book swiftly dives through the elements that make up our amazing bodies, from bones to muscles, organs, digestive system, senses and the brain. With just enough detail to be truly informative, such as detailing the functions of each organ, key muscles and bones, a dissection of a brain, a diagram of the heart and ear, there are also enough cute illustrations of children and dogs for it to be attractive rather than dry.

The end explores staying healthy, how the body deals with sickness such as exploring scabbing over grazes for example, this is an excellent primer for curious future doctors (and everyone small who wants to know more about their bodies!).
