We all have a body, but how much do you really know about yours? Through twenty mini mysteries, secrets of the human body will be revealed with humor, wit, and intrigue. Ready, set, investigate! Welcome to the world of
Sleuth & Solve: Human Body, where readers channel their inner Sherlock as they practice deduction, inference, and logical reasoning to solve a series of mind-twisting mysteries, all contained in our very own human bodies!
The mini brain teasers in this game-in-a-book feature bodily functions, systems, and parts, introducing young readers to the fascinating mechanisms of the human body, including:
- The Heart
- The Immune System
- The Senses
- The Digestive System
- The Brain
- And much more!
Travel through our body systems and explore every corner of our anatomies while gathering the clues needed to solve the puzzles. The text is fun, lighthearted, and family-friendly, and the artwork is a delight. A bonus activity at the end gives kids a chance to be doctors with experiments that let them observe their own bodies and further unpack some of the featured concepts.
This book of clever, inference-based mysteries is the perfect gift for puzzle-lovers, super-sleuths, and blossoming biologists of every age.
