Use eye-grabbing diagrams to help you to discover the human body in glorious technicolour!

With eye-grabbing diagrams and amazing facts, The Skeleton and Muscles takes a vibrant look at the body's astounding framework.

An adult has 206 bones and more than 650 muscles in their body, and each one has an important role to play. This book explores how the skeleton and muscles have multiple jobs within our body, from protection and structure to movement and blood production. Mind-bloggling facts (for instance, you will grow around seven skeletons in your lifetime!), and clear and straighforward diagrams help to explain the important functions of your skeleton and muscles, while unique photos enable the reader to see the human body in a whole new light.

This colourful and fact-packed series provides an accessible look at the human body through bright and bold graphics. With spread-filling diagrams, a colour-blocking approach, and simple text and captions, The Bright and Bold Human Body presents the incredible scale and complexity of the human body in small, digestible chunks. As well as this, surprising statistics and close-up photos allow children ages 9+ to gain an insight into the wonders of our bright and bold bodies.
