Take a fascinating tour through the incredible body, and discover all the things that make a human - from the weird to the wonderful!

Meet the Builderbots - the best building crew in the universe! They can build just about anything.... but can they build a human?

Packed with facts about the human body - from what the tiniest bone in our body is to why we have nostril hairs - this is the perfect book for budding scientists.

The biggest human muscle is the gluteus maximus. There are two of them in your bottom which help with standing, walking and moving.
You don't have hair growing on your lips, hand palms, foot soles and eyelids
When you go to sleep your brain doesn't stop. It carries on keeping you alive and it also creates dreams.
Your ears help you balance. The brain senses the liquid sloshing this way and that inside your ear tubes, and it works our which way your head is moving.
A resting human heart beats around seventy times per minute.
