Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
Survive! Inside the Human Body, Volume 1 begins an epic journey through the human body with a look at the digestive system. This lively, full-color science comic explores Phoebe's insides after she accidentally swallows a microscopic ship. The only problem? Dr. Brain (the ship's eccentric inventor) and Phoebe's friend Geo are on board!
Geo and Dr. Brain must avoid danger at every turn--like hazardous stomach acid and feeding parasites. (Ew!) Will they escape? You've got a front-row seat as they travel through Phoebe's esophagus, stomach, and intestines.
Have you ever wondered...
-How antacids work?
-How our bodies break down food and absorb nutrients?
-Why we have sphincters?
-How the stomach protects itself from its own acid?
-How doctors cure patients who have parasites living in their digestive systems?
-Why we have trillions of friendly microbes living inside of us?
For ages 8+
