Description
"Welcome to the Human Body Theater, where your master of ceremonies is going to lead you through a theatrical revue of each and every biological system of the human body! Starting out as a skeleton, the MC puts on a new layer of her costume (her body) with each "act." By turns goofy and intensely informative, the Human Body Theater is always accessible and always entertaining." --

Told by a skeleton, each chapter takes on a different human body system. I learned a lot reading this book! There is a lot of text, but it is interesting. Each section starts with a diagram of the system as a whole and then goes into detail about the inner workings of that particular system.

A LOT of information packed into one little book, but it was well executed. I adored learning about anatomy in middle school, and this book would have been my jam. Added bonus: a tongue with feet!
