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? Look, if your nose is going to all that effort of creating a snack, the least we can do is check out its nutritional value. (Yes, they're safe. Chew away )And how much of your life will you spend on the toilet? About a year--so bring a good book. (I recommend this one.) Sit back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you on (slightly repulsive) tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's Anatomy*. *A fancy word for your body. See, you're learning already.

The highly-acclaimed, No. 1-bestselling children's fiction debut from Adam Kay - and soon to be a BBC TV special! It was clear from an early age that Dexter Procter was different. He started speaking at four seconds old. By the age of three, he had 87 A-levels, from Afrikaans to Zoology. And by ten, he was working as a paediatrician at Lilydale General Hospital. Despite a loving but annoying family and a couple of good friends (Rupi and Otto), Dexter’s always struggled to fit in. Add to this a mortal enemy (Dr Drake) and a major problem at his old school (all the teachers struck down with awful diarrhoea) – will Dexter be able to save his job, save the school and find his place in the world? (Spoiler alert: yes!) A laugh-out-loud new fiction series about the world's youngest doctor from the record-breaking Adam Kay and Henry Paker. 'Original, very funny, ultra-informative - and children will love all the disgusting parts.’ Jacqueline Wilson 'If laughter truly is the best medicine, book this hilarious appointment with Dr Procter immediately.' David Baddiel Adam Kay, Sunday Times bestseller, November 2023

In this deathly funny and brilliantly original mystery from Adam Kay, former doctor and BAFTA-winning author of This is Going to Hurt, a chaotic young doctor might be the only one who can catch a killer targeting hospital officials--if his investigation doesn't cost him his career first. When his toxic medical director dies of a heart attack, fellow doctor Eitan Rose smells foul play. Nobody else does, though, including some quite crucial players like the police and the medical examiner. So when another senior doctor dies, Eitan vows to uncover the truth himself. But having recently returned to work after time off for his mental health, Eitan's personal file is far from spotless. Despite his budding relationship with Cole, a handsome hospital porter, and reluctant comradery with his office mate, Margaret-with-the-cats, Eitan is quickly in over his head. And as his investigation spirals into pandemonium, his colleagues begin to question his judgement. Could a killer really be roaming the halls? Or is Eitan making a catastrophic mistake? This clever and fiendishly funny debut is filled with unforgettable wit, lovable characters, and plenty of twists--alongside texts, transcripts, medical reports, and all the evidence you'll need to help solve this particularly nasty case.

The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker. This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy. The story follows Amy on her funny, gooey and anatomically-accurate adventure through the human body as she discovers lots of facts about digestion.

Stetoskoobi varna riputanud, jutustab Adam Kay veel lõbusaid, veidraid ja liigutavaid lugusid oma arstipraksisest. Tema seni kõige siiram ja isiklikum raamat kõneleb sellest, mis juhtus temaga pärast arstikarjääri, sellest, kuidas kohaneb terve senise elu meditsiinile pühendanud inimene järsku eluga väljaspool seda sfääri, ent Kay heidab ka pilgu edasi ja tagasi ning avab mõnegi vana haava.Adam Kay on arstikutse ilust ja valust kirjutanud mitu raamatut, neist on eesti keeles varem ilmunud "See teeb haiget" ja "Oh sa püha(de) vahetus!" Noorematele lugejatele on temalt ilmunud "Kay anatoomia", valgustav teatmeteos sellest, kuidas on inimene ehitatud ja kuidas toimib.
