Like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about The Times
Kay's Anatomy is totally brilliant - it's ultra child-friendly and chatty, and any young reader will learn a great deal about the body as they chuckle through each chapter Jacqueline Wilson
It's fun and informative and just the sort of book I would've loved as a child Malorie Blackman
If only this funny and informative book had been around when I was too embarrassed to teach my kids about bodily functions David Baddiel
Hilarious and fascinating! I wish Adam had been my biology teacher Konnie Huq
Absolutely packed with facts... Entertaining and highly informative Daily Mail

Much funnier and more informative and more gross than Gray's Anatomy... I highly recommend for anyone
