Lift-the-Flap – How Your Body Works

Explore the amazing machine that is your body

This fascinating interactive book invites children to discover what really happens inside their own bodies through over 80 flaps that reveal the incredible workings of bones, muscles, heart, lungs, brain and so much more. From understanding what happens when you eat to learning how your senses work, this book makes complex body systems accessible and exciting for young minds.

Written by Rosie Dickins and beautifully illustrated by Océane Meklemberg, this board book transforms biology into a hands-on adventure. Children can lift flaps to see inside their bodies, discover amazing facts about everything from the bacteria in their belly button to how their brain controls their movements, and understand why staying healthy matters.

Created in consultation with a practising doctor, the information is both accurate and age-appropriate. The book includes links to specially selected websites with additional activities and videos about the human body, extending the learning beyond the pages. Part of Usborne's acclaimed lift-the-flap series, this is a perfect introduction to understanding our bodies and how they work.

Suitable for children aged 6 years and up
