Your body is busy, busy, busy! Learn how it works in this funny-but-informative book. I want an apple. Smart brain, help me find one. Sniffy nose, smell the apple. Bright eyes, help me see it. Legs, feet, arms, teeth, tongue, tummy . . . and long intestine too . . . all snap into action when a child decides she wants an apple. A clever and humorous introduction to body parts and their function. David Harrison is a beloved, award-winning author. The David Harrison Elementary School in Springfield, Missouri was named in his honor. The illustrator, David Catrow, is known for his humor and hyperbole.

"The illustrations are whimsical and full of movement. . . . The message about body positivity will resonate with all ages. A playful introduction to the body parts. "-Kirkus Reviews "Beautifully illustrated and with spare writing, this work captures the complexity of human digestion in the body of a hungry girl. . . . The lyrical text is short; the snappy pace will engage children as they devour Catrow' s detailed, hand-drawn artwork. . . . This will make for a fun story time, where bodily functions can be the silliest. "-School Library Journal
