Animals and Me

by DK
ebook

Did you know that we have the same number of bones in our neck as a giraffe' That dogs can smell 25 times better than us and that sheep need about half as much sleep as we do' There's so much about our bodies that we take for granted, but this amusing, original book takes a completely fresh approach to the human body–by setting it in context within the animal kingdom.

Taking each part of the body in turn–our eyes, our nose, our skin–it sets out to explain what each body part is for, and then compares it with other animals. The size of our brain, the strength of our eyesight, our ability to talk, are all looked at in comparison with the animal kingdom as a whole. It is by looking at the bodies of other animals that we can begin to understand our own!
