Human Body

Learn all about the human body with Mo the Monster and his friends in this fun first science book for children aged 5+. Mo knows very little about the human body works, so today he is off to a sports contest to try a few sports himself, and learn about how different body parts work. But can Mo stay out of trouble while he's having so much fun? Don't count on it! If a monster can understand science, anyone can! Join Mo the Monster as he discovers the basic principles of science. Along the way, Mo is kept focused (monsters are notoriously easily distracted) with the help of simple, clearly presented information, plenty of questions to answer and lots of science puzzles and activities. The funny, colourful illustrations offer lots of scope for humour and interest to keep children engaged while they learn. Aimed at readers aged 5+.
