Lift-the-flap questions and answers
Lift-the-flap questions and answers about your body
“Sure to satisfy inquisitive minds.”
The Royal Society Young People's Book Prize 2014
Katie Daynes has written oodles of books for Usborne, from lifting the flaps on germs and poo, through things to spot in the sea and at school, to the life stories of Nelson Mandela and Marie Antoinette. She wrote My First Chess Book after being taught by her son, Joe Birks, who became the British Under 9 Chess Champion in 2017. She now lives in Yorkshire with her architect husband, two inquisitive children and a hamster called Toffee. When she’s not writing books, Katie likes walking on the blustery moors, meeting friends for coffee and playing competitive board games.
This bite-sized Q&A book with informative illustrations is sure to satisfy inquisitive minds, answering the kinds of questions young children have about their bodies in a fun lift-the-flap style.
The Royal Society Young People's Book Prize 2014
...children (who have a zillion and one questions) can look through the book, and really dig into their anatomy revealing all the wonderful (and sometimes quite gross) nuggets of knowledge about their physiology.

Best Children's Book I've Purchased This Year!
My 6 year old son absolutely adores this book! He's read it cover to cover half a dozen times now - and he only received it yesterday. It is packed with info which is displayed in a child friendly, fun format. It is easily digested in bitesized facts and its humour is age appropriate. (He particularly enjoyed the "how is my food made into poo" fact!!) A wonderful purchase :)
