The Kiddie Cot’s 1000 WHYs About The Human Body Hardcover

Description

A full-color visual encyclopedia for kids who want to know what’s really going on inside their own bodies.

Most kids’ body books give a labeled skeleton, a few diagrams and long blocks of text. This book is different. It answers 1,000 real questions children actually ask about themselves. Every answer is short, clear and numbered, and each one is paired with bright, full-color illustrations.

Why can’t you tickle yourself? Why do your fingers go wrinkly in the bath? Why do you yawn when someone else yawns? Why are you taller in the morning than at night? Why doesn’t your stomach digest itself?

It’s designed for curious readers ages 6 to 10 who want to understand how their body works, not just memorize the names of its parts.

Inside, kids will explore 12 amazing body zones:

– Skin: goosebumps, itches, bruises, blisters, wrinkly bath fingers, and why skin comes in different shades
– Hair, Nails and Teeth: why hair grows while you sleep, why pulling a hair hurts but cutting it doesn’t, and how many sets of teeth you get
– Bones: the longest bone, bone marrow, why babies have more bones than grown-ups, and why astronauts come home with weaker bones
– Muscles and Movement: the strongest muscle, sore legs, running stitches, and the face muscles behind every expression
– The Heart and Blood: 100,000 heartbeats a day, what blood is made of, and why your heart races when you run
– Lungs and Breathing: your diaphragm, contagious yawns, left lung vs. right lung, and how long you could hold your breath
– Eating and Digestion: tummy rumbles, spicy food, the liver’s many jobs, and why sweetcorn comes out the way it went in
– The Brain: how much it weighs, whether it feels pain, and why you forget most of your dreams
– Nerves and Reflexes: knee kicks at the doctor’s, lightning-fast signals, and why you can’t tickle yourself
– The Five Senses: taste buds, red eyes in photos, blocked noses, and why spinning makes some people feel sick
– Growing and Changing: why feet grow first, why kids need more sleep, spots, and voices
– Germs, Illness and Healing: invisible invaders, why flu feels so much worse than a cold, and how your body fights back

What makes this book different?

Each answer is written in simple, age-appropriate language. It’s clear enough for younger readers and packed with enough ‘I did not know that!’ moments to keep older kids hooked.

This is not a dense biology textbook. It is not a plain list of facts. It’s a colorful, surprising journey through the most fascinating thing your child will ever own: their own body.
