Description

This nonfiction graphic novel introduces young readers to the respiratory system of the human body. The book explains how the lungs, airways, and other respiratory organs work together to help us breathe. Through clear illustrations and simple text, readers learn about the process of taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. The book is designed for children in grades K-3.

Quick Summary

The graphic-novel format transforms the science of breathing into a colorful adventure where lungs become superheroes. Kids will love watching oxygen molecules race through the body, seeing lungs inflate like balloons, and discovering the wild reasons we yawn, sneeze, and hiccup. If your kid loves the "Magic School Bus" series or enjoys graphic novels like "Dog Man," they'll be hooked on learning how their body keeps them alive. Perfect for kindergarten through third graders who want to understand their insides without snoozing through a textbook.
