The brand-new, hilarious book from bestselling, record-breaking author Adam Kay.\nThe olden days were pretty fun if you liked wearing chainmail or chopping people's heads off but there was one TINY LITTLE problem back then . . . doctors didn't have the slightest clue about how our bodies worked.\nIt's time to find out why Ancient Egyptians thought the brain was just a useless load of old stuffing that might as well be chucked in the bin, why teachers forced their pupils to smoke cigarettes, why hairdressers would cut off their customers' legs, and why people used to get paid for farting. (Unfortunately that's no longer a thing - sorry.)\nYou'll get answers to questions like: 
Why did patients gargle with wee? 
How did a doctor save people's lives using a washing machine, a can of beans and some old sausages? 
What was the great stink? (No, it's not what doctors call your bum.)\nIf you're sure you're ready, then pop a peg on your nose (there was a lot of stinky pus back then), pull on your wellies (there was a lot of poo there too), wash your hands (because they certainly didn't) and explore this gross and gruesome history of the human body!

The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker.This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy. The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts about digestion. (It's fair to say that parents might learn a little bit too.)Praise for Kay's 'An enjoyably gross look at the human body.
