Best books about the human body

Nerves, bones, blood, eyes, limbs, arteries...THE BODY! What a wonderful, exciting and, sometimes, even strange place!

Children love learning about the organs of the human body, anatomy and how our many body parts work together. They love finding out why we've got hairs in our noses, if we can eat our bogeys and how many times our heart beats in a day! With these carefully selected books, they can find all the answers they are looking for! (And yes, eating bogeys is okay.)

We've got all ages covered, from small babies with Anatomy for Babies and beginner readers with Usborne's See Inside Your Body, all the way up to older readers' content with Knowledge Encyclopedia: Human Body!

Learn everything there is to know about the human body and more! And if you want to branch out and explore more science topics, you should definitely look into our book recommendations for this year's British Science Week too. So many fun titles to explore and... dissect!

Kay's Anatomy: A Complete (and Completely Disgusting) Guide to the Human Body

Do you ever think about your body and how it all works? Like really properly think about it? The human body is extraordinary and fascinating and, well . . . pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is weird, your maths teacher's is even weirder.

This book is going to tell you what's actually going on in there, and answer the really important questions, like:

Are bogeys safe to eat? Look, if your nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew away!)

And how much of your life will you spend on the toilet? About a year - so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.)

So sit back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you on a poo (and puke) filled tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's Anatomy*.

*a fancy word for your body. See, you're learning already.
