An engaging "whistle-stop" tour of the human body uses a factory metaphor to depict a CEO who dispatches orders from the brain while teams of busy workers endeavor to keep each "department" running smoothly, from lab workers mixing gastric juices in the stomach to park keepers on the skin who use sweat-gland sprinklers.

"The fourth book in this internationally best-selling series explores lots of aspects of the body including birth, growth, ageing, senses, the brain, and genetics, but from a family standpoint rather than a straight non-fiction perspective. Features the exploratory, questioning framework and quirky treatment that has worked so well for the series."--Amazon website.
