Description: Snot, wees, farts, feelings... they all come from somewhere, and that's YOU! But what starts a wee? Where do burps go after they've escaped? And why is a sneeze SO loud?
Along Came a... Burp answers all these questions about the HUMAN BODY and more, in hilarious comic-book style. Featuring a host of colourful characters - from stinky poos to speedy sneezes - each with their own mini story to tell about exactly how they came along. This book is perfect for young readers who love storybooks, but have LOTS of questions to answer.
Written by rising-star Saskia Gwinn (author of Scientists are Saving the World and I am Not the Easter Bunny), and illustrated in rib-tickling style by Paula Bowles (illustrator of Superkitty and Tiny Crab is a Tidy Crab), this is the first in a new series of laugh-out-loud science stories the whole family can enjoy.
