How the Incredible Human Body Works by the Brainwaves
Richard Walker, Lisa Swerling, Ralph Lazar
From the same artistic team who gave us How Nearly Everything was Invented, How the Incredible Human Body Works takes readers on a rollicking, rip-roaring romp around the human body. The second book in the Brainwaves series, this quirky yet informative book looks at the body’s physiological processes and its anatomical make-up.

The Brainwaves are little people on a big adventure-come join them on their mission of mischievous mayhem.
