Summary

Brought to you by Puffin.

The first children's audiobook from Adam Kay.

A Sunday Times pick for audiobooks to listen to during lockdown.

Explore each organ of the body in this immersive, 3D audiobook edition of Kay's Anatomy, read by Adam Kay with a full cast of voices, including Mark Gatiss, Sandi Toksvig, Andy Nyman and Lolly Adefope.

Do you ever think about your body and how it all works? Like really properly think about it?

The human body is extraordinary and fascinating and, well... pretty weird. Yours is weird, mine is weird, your maths 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 bogeys 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.)

So sit back, relax, put on some rubber gloves, and let a doctor take you on a poo- and puke-filled tour of your insides. Welcome to Kay's Anatomy*.

*a fancy word for your body. See, you're learning already.

The full cast includes: Andy Nyman, Joe Wilkinson, Rose Matafeo, Mark Gatiss, Dan Tetsell, Sandi Toksvig, Desiree Burch, Lolly Adefope, Mike Wozniak, Jan Ravens, Lucy Montgomery, Tom Allen, Henry Paker and Reece Shearsmith.

Great facts for kids

My 10 year old has read both of Adam's books but is now listening to the audio book too. She loves the silly jokes as it's right on her level of development.
She's now waiting on the second book becoming an audio book too (because she wants to hear Great Aunt P- if you know you know 😉)

Loved it!

This is the first children's book by former doctor Adam Kay. I brought this book for my 9 year old son, but ended up reading it myself.

This book is an investigation of the human body with jokes and illustrations making the facts easier to recall.

I've read all of Adam Kay's previous books and I have loved them all! At this point if Adam Kay published his shopping list... I would read it.

It gave a a lot of good information about how the system worked

I liked how instead of just telling the listeners what the body does Adam added a little spice and made it funny.I also like how the body parts had different personalities and were interrupting him in the chapter.
