Young Genius Digestion by Kate Lennard

Young Genius is a bright little boy who escorts children through the pages of amusing and instructive colour-illustrated books that describe the human body. In this book, Young Genius tells kids about food and its nutrients, and how it is digested in the stomach and intestines.
Books in Barron's Young Genius series show and tell kids how different body organs work, with questions that will prompt boys and girls to giggle - but also to get a clearer understanding of how their bodies function. The language is easy for younger children to understand, and though the information is presented in simple terms, its details are scientifically correct and reliable. A special illustration in each book includes tabs for kids to lift, examine what is hidden beneath them, and better understand how their bodies work.  Cartoon-style colour illustrations on every page.

Dreams are weird

They're like your brain's way of saying: you know what the world really needs? Nonsensical story lines that nobody questions and flying cars.

And even though we know they're absolutely bonkers and possess zero relevance whatsoever, we waste no time telling people all about them.

Nobody wants to hear it. You end up sounding like a toddler trying to explain the latest episode of Game of Thrones.

The only dream worth talking about is Martin Luther's. Fact.

Anyhoo, we had a dream we sold out by noon today and spent the rest of our time hanging out with the Red Hot Chili Peppers at Home Affairs. Crazy, huh?
