The Musum of Body Leftovers
A Tour of Useless Parts, Flaws, and Other Weird Bits
Rachel Poliquin, illustrated by Clayton Hanmer
Description
Welcome to the weirdest museum you’ll ever explore—one you carry around with you every day! The human body is a walking, talking museum of evolution, containing bits that were useful way back when we lived in different habitats or had different diets or behaviors. In Museum of Leftovers, tour guides Wisdom Tooth and Disappearing Kidney lead readers through an exploration of hiccups, weird feet, tailbones, monkey muscles, extra teeth, goosebumps, and more—all vestigial structures that are still hanging around in our bodies with stories to tell about our past. Rachel Poliquin’s lively and humorous text makes solid scientific information easily accessible for young readers, while Clayton Hanmer’s energetic art brings this wacky museum to life.
