Dr Roopa's Body Books: The Super Skeleton

Written in an accessible and lively text for younger readers, Dr Farooki explores the different bones in the body, explaining the different kinds of joints with her trademark enthusiasm and warm sense of humour. She also shares age appropriate, no-nonsense tips on wellbeing such as diet, vitamins and exercise to help build strong bones. Colourfully and imaginatively illustrated by award-winning artist Viola Wang, this series is the ideal introduction to anatomy for use at home and in nurseries and schools. * The Lancaster Guardian *
