About this book

"Wait... why DOES my stomach growl?"
If your kid asks questions like that all day long, this book was made for them.

Why do I get goosebumps? Why does my voice sound so weird on a recording? Why can't I tickle myself? Why do I get brain freeze from ice cream? Why do onions make me cry? Why do my ears pop on an airplane? Kids ask these questions about their own bodies every single day, and now they finally get real answers, not "because that's just how it works."

100,000 Whys: The Human Body answers 105 real questions kids actually ask, each one explained in a clear, friendly way they'll instantly understand and remember.

On every question page:

A big, friendly cartoon illustrationA short, clear answer that finally makes it clickA "Did You Know?" fact, often weirder and funnier than the question itself

The 105 questions are sorted into 10 easy-to-explore sections: Bones & Muscles; Heart & Blood; Brain & Nerves; Sleep, Dreams & Feelings; Senses & Sound; Eyes, Smell & Taste; Voice, Breathing & Lungs; Eating & Digestion; Skin, Hair, Nails & Teeth; and the gloriously gross Weird, Sick & Growing.

Plus a giant bonus section:

"Try This at Home": safe, hands-on experiments"Your Body by the Numbers""Amazing Human Records" that sound impossible but are trueTwo fun quizzes to test what they've learned80 Hall of Fame body factsA kid-friendly glossaryA fill-in "Certificate of Curiosity"

Why parents and gift-givers love it: it's screen-free learning that never feels like homework. Full color and fully illustrated, it's built to keep curious kids ages 6 to 12 reading, asking, and discovering on their own, then teaching it right back at the dinner table. Perfect for fact-hungry kids, reluctant readers, homeschoolers, and classrooms, and a memorable birthday or holiday gift.

A companion to 100,000 Whys: The Encyclopedia of Curiosities for Kids, from the fun, fact-packed series that turns "why?" into "oh, THAT'S why!"

Give your curious kid the book that finally answers back.
