What is Gruesome Guts about?

Take a fascinating and slightly revolting journey through the human digestive system. Discover what happens to food after you swallow it, what saliva and stomach acid do, and why bodies sometimes burp, vomit or poo. Cartoon doctors, labelled illustrations, photographs and surprising facts explain how the guts and intestines work. Five hands-on activities, including measuring your intestines and making a model stomach, help curious readers investigate digestion for themselves.
