50 Wacky Things Humans Do: Weird & amazing facts about the human body! by Walter Foster Jr. Creative Team
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is a great little book of bits of science to get kids interested in well, the human body.
I went into this thinking, yeah, tell me something I don’t know, and coming out saying, I did not know that.
For example, while I did know that mother’s milk helped babies with their immune system, I did not know that the process of mothers kissing their babies helped move the babies germs into the mother so that her immune system can fight the germs, and give the immunity to her baby through mother’s milk. Way cool.
And while I know we have all heart of fireflies, did you k now that humans give off a very faint glow as well? Too soft for humans themselves to see, but there, none the less.
And another fun fact, is that human newborns have a grip so strong, that if they hung on to your finger, you could lift them up, and they would still hang on.
Kids get these little tastes of fun facts, and more, and hopefully want to delve in deeper than this book takes them, to learn more about the human body.
Great introduction to science.
Thanks to Netgalley for making this book available for an honest review.
