In six large foldout maps, children of six and over get to know the human body, including all its organs and functions. Large graphic illustrations show the most important parts of the human body, the circulatory system, the nervous system, the muscles, the internal organs and the skeleton.

Each chapter is a supplemented with a booklet insert, in which readers will find basic information on illnesses affecting parts of the body and their treatment, healthy diet and healthy lifestyle, and how best to give first aid following accident or injury. The encyclopaedia shows child readers how the human body works, how best to care for it, and what needs to be done when a health problem occurs.
