From Head to Toe: The Amazing Human Body and How It Works

Three titles examine the human body. A 1960s palette and attitude informs From Head to Toe: An Amazing Human Body and How It Works by Barbara Seuling, illus. by Edward Miller. The volume covers bones, muscles, the brain and organs, among other parts, with text that invites a personal connection (""You might think your belly button has no purpose.... It doesn't anymore, but once it was your lifeline"") and rainbow colors show internal organs. Humorous sidebars supplement each section; the accompanying experiments (e.g., making a hinge joint out of boxes and tape) are easy to execute.
