Summary:
A perfect STEM resource: This illustrated
tour
of our "leftover"
body
parts
(like the appendix, or even goosebumps) introduces readers age 7-11 to the bizarre and fascinating science of evolution. Welcome to the weirdest
museum
you'll ever explore--the one inside
your
body
. Did you know
your
amazing, incredible
body
is a walking, talking
museum
of evolution? In The
Museum
of
Odd
Body
Leftovers
,
tour
guides Wisdom Tooth and Disappearing Kidney lead readers through a wacky
museum
dedicated to vestigial structures:
body
parts
that were essential to our ancestors but are no longer useful to us--even though they're still hanging around. From goosebumps and hiccups to exploding organs and monkey muscles, each room in the
museum
shows us that these
parts
have stories to tell us about our past. By the time we make it to the gift shop, we'll understand that evolution is not only messy and imperfect, but also ongoing. Our bodies are constantly changing along with the environment we live in--and there's so much that is still unknown, just waiting to be discovered. Engaging, hilarious, and a visual treat, The
Museum
of
Odd
Body
Leftovers
is a place you'll want to visit again and again.
