Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Humorous, Shakespearean-inspired verse about body parts blends with whimsical art in this award-winning science poetry collection from Leslie Bulion.
Leslie Bulion's award-winning volume of anatomical verse begins with an invitation to solve a series of poetic riddles- "Of course you have a body, / But do you have a clue / Where all the body parts you've got are found / And what they do?"
Each poem that follows poses a puzzle in verse (with a sly wink and a nod to Shakespeare) and provides hints for uncovering the body part in question-from blood, bones, eyes, and the heart to the brain, pancreas, stomach, tongue, and more.
Sidebars throughout offer additional facts, while appended notes offer a crash course on poetic form and a few facts about the Shakespearean works that inspired the verses. Mike Lowery's playful, original art adds context along with photographs and a diagram of the human body. A truly unique nonfiction title that's ideal for cross-curricular learning!
Includes bibliographical references.
"Of course you have a body, but do you have a clue where all the body parts you've got are found and what they do? You think you have a handle on your anatomy, but can you handle tricky riddle poems? Come on--let's see."-- Provided by publisher.
Ages 8-12.
