Does your child ever wonder what really happens to food after the last bite? This engaging nonfiction science reader takes young learners on a fascinating journey through the human digestive system - from the very first chew all the way to waste removal - using clear language, vivid explanations, and real-world connections that make biology stick.
Inside, young readers will discover:
How the mouth, esophagus, and stomach each play a unique role in breaking down food What the small and large intestines do - and why they are so different from each other How the liver, gallbladder, and pancreas work together as a powerful digestive team What digestive enzymes are and why the body cannot function without them The surprising world of gut bacteria and the microbiome living inside us What the body truly needs from food - proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals explained simply Common digestive disorders and practical tips for keeping the gut healthy
Who is this for?
