From the Publisher
Young children are full of questions about how their bodies work.
With straightforward, easy-to-understand language and a
playful attitude, Liza Fromer and Francine Gerstein MD have
collaborated to create books packed with solid information about
the intricacies of the human body. Their reassuring text describes
the body's various systems and supplies parents and caregivers with
answers that will help them provide the accurate, age-appropriate
information young children need.
My Noisy Body deals with the digestive system and the many noises
it creates, from burps to stomach growls to farts. Why do we
hiccup? Sneeze? Snore?
