âKids and adult alike will love poring over the different sections of this book and will delight in informing their friends and family members of the facts they've learned.ââSchool Library Journal â
A perfect book for engaging kids in STEM: This illustrated tour of our âleftoverâ body parts (like the appendix, or even goosebumps) introduces readers age 7-11 to the bizarre and fascinating science of evolution.
Welcome to the weirdest museum youâll ever exploreâthe one inside your body.
Did you know your amazing, incredible body is a walking, talking museum of evolution? In The Museum of Odd Body Leftovers, tour guides Wisdom Tooth and Disappearing Kidney lead readers through a wacky museum dedicated to vestigial structures: body parts that were essential to our ancestors but are no longer useful to usâeven though theyâre still hanging around.
From goosebumps and hiccups to exploding organs and monkey muscles, each room in the museum shows us that these parts have stories to tell us about our past. By the time we make it to the gift shop, weâll understand that evolution is not only messy and imperfect, but also ongoing. Our bodies are constantly changing along with the environment we live inâand thereâs so much that is still unknown, just waiting to be discovered.
Engaging, hilarious, and a visual treat, The Museum of Odd Body Leftovers is a place youâll want to visit again and again.
