Like really, really think about it? The human body is extraordinary and fascinating and, well...pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is weird, your math teacher's is even weirder. This book is going to tell you what's actually going on in there, and answer the really important questions, like: Are boogers safe to eat?

See, you're learning already.

Hulvaton lasten ja nuorten tietokirja Britannian hauskimmalta lääkäriltä!Ennen vanhaan oli varmaan ihan mukava elellä, ainakin jos tykkäsi käyttää haarniskaa tai asua pyramidissa. Pieni miinus oli kuitenkin se, että lääkäreillä ei silloin ollut hajuakaan, miten ihmisen ruumis toimii.Tässä kirjassa selvitetään, miksi opettajat pakottivat oppilaat polttamaan tupakkaa, miksi parturit sahasivat asiakkailtaan jalkoja ja miksi ihmisille maksettiin piereskelystä (sitä ei enää tehdä, harmi kyllä).Laita siis pyykkipoika nenään (koska ennen kaikkialla haisi pahalta), saappaat jalkaan (koska kaikkialla oli törkyistä) ja pese kädet (koska ennen ei todellakaan pesty), niin olet valmis astumaan lääketieteen ällöön ja hulluun historiaan.Adam Kay on brittiläinen moninkertaisesti palkittu huumorikirjailija ja ei-ollenkaan-palkittu entinen lääkäri, jonka kirjoja on myyty yli kolme miljoonaa kappaletta. Hänen edellinen lasten- ja nuortenkirjansa, Kayn anatomia, on ollut valtaisa menestys.Kirjan kuvittaja Henry Paker töherteli pienenä poikana sivujen reunaan. Nyt aikuisena miehenä hän töhertelee sivujen keskelle.

Tiedätkö, miten sammakot liittyvät pattereihin? Entä jos vessassa käytettäisiinkin paperin sijasta saviastian paloja? Onko joku todella yrittänyt lentää nojatuolilla kuuhun? KAYN KAIKENMOISET KEKSINNÖT on hulvattoman hauska tietokirja keksintöjen ällistyttävästä maailmasta. Teos kertoo elämää muuttaneista oivalluksista ja siitä, miten on toimittu ennen meille tuiki tavallisen asian - vaikkapa hammastahnan tai tietokoneen - syntyä. Mukana on myös hullunkurisia hölmöyksiä, sillä kaikki älynväläykset eivät toden totta ole osuneet nappiin. Mutta keksiminen, sehän on mahtavaa! Maailman ensimmäinen tv tehtiin muuten hatturasiasta, polkupyörän lampusta, saksista ja vahasta - koeyleisö valitti, että kuva on rakeinen.Teos oli Englannin parhaan lasten tietokirjan finalistien joukossa 2024. Tekstiä täydentää Henry Pakerin hauska piirroskuvitus. Kirja sopii varhaisnuorelle ja sen parissa viihtyy myös tottumattomampi lukija.ADAM KAY on brittiläinen kirjailija ja entinen lääkäri, jonka kirjoja on myyty yli kolme miljoonaa kappaletta. Hänen aiemmat nuorten tietokirjat, Kayn anatomia ja Kayn poppakonstit, ovat olleet menetyksiä. Kuvittaja HENRY PAKER piirteli pienenä poikana sivujen reunaan.

All is not well in the world with Dexter Procter, the world's youngest doctor. His granny has broken her leg, his friends Rupi and Otto have been expelled, there's an asthma epidemic he can't get on top of, and everything fun at the hospital has been shut down by slimy politician Barbara Burnhall. And then his boss Dr Marigold disappears off the face of the earth! But what Dexter doesn't realize is that he and his friends are about to uncover a dastardly plot featuring kidnap, earthquakes and a runaway ambulance. Dexter Procter doesn't know what's about to hit him. (Spoiler alert: it's a runaway ambulance.) Adam Kay and Henry Paker have created a second Dexter mystery that is funnier, more ambitious and even more disgusting than the first book (and that was pretty disgusting). Dexter Procter and the Case of the Disappearing Doctor is soon to be a major BBC show.
