Young Genius is a bright little boy who escorts children through the pages of amusing and instructive color-illustrated books that describe the human body. In this book, Young Genius tells kids about food and its nutrients, and how it is digested in the stomach and intestines. Books in Barron's Young Genius series show and tell kids how different body organs work, with questions that will prompt boys and girls to giggle--but also to get a clearer understanding of how their bodies function. The language is easy for younger children to understand, and though the information is presented in simple terms, its details are scientifically correct and reliable. A special illustration in each book includes tabs for kids to lift, examine what is hidden beneath them, and better understand how their bodies work. Cartoon-style color illustrations on every page.
