ill) WHAT’S THE THING WITH THE BODY? B Wahlströms Rights: Arena Scripts What’s the Thing with the Body? Why do you have to drink water if it’s going to come out as pee anyway? For how long is it possible to hang upside down? Why must you sleep even though it’s more fun to be awake? Why does the heart beat? About a hundred different phenomena and processes within the body are described in a fun and stimulating way alongside impeccable illustrations. An excellent collaboration between author Martin Svensson and illustrator Henrik Lange. The entire What’s the Thing with the Body? is infused by the author and the illustrator’s own curiosity and desire to inspire interest in the body in new and unexpected ways. Learning at its most pleasurable. 55
