Hardback Picture Books | Human Body

A funny picture book about a fascinating concept in science by the highly successful duo who brought us Do Not Lick This Book (it's full of germs) - the award-winning author of Small Wonders, and the animator behind the wildly successful video 'Dumb Ways to Die'.


Quog and Oort are on their way to Kevin's birthday party. Unfortunately, their spaceship has crashed. Pick up this book to lend them a hand!


An interstellar exploration of hands and what's inside them, from the award-winning creators of the internationally successful Do Not Lick This Book.

Jem's Review:


Meet Oort and Quog, two little aliens who need your help! Their ship has lost its engine and they don’t have hands! With the reader's help, Oort and Quog learn about how bodies work - from the bones that keep bodies upright, to muscles making you strong, and how nerves help you feel things. They also get their spaceship back in the sky and ready to go to their pal Kevin’s birthday.

Argh! There’s a skeleton inside you! is an interactive story filled with interesting information about how bones, muscles and nerves all connect together. When placed on certain pages the aliens can scan a hand to see what’s inside. The book also includes a helpful step by step guide to growing your own hands (should you wish to follow in Quog’s footsteps).

A great introduction for young readers on the mechanics of bodies, told through hilarious alien observations, Argh! There’s a skeleton inside you! Is another wonderful book by Idan Ben-Barak and illustrator Julian Frost, the pair who also created Do not lick this book*.
