Our bodies are always growing and changing - from before we are born until the day we die. Even when we’re asleep our hearts continue to beat, we keep on breathing, and the cells that make up our bodies are constantly being repaired and renewed. But how and why does this happen? This book looks at the physical changes our bodies undergo, from reflex actions and changes to bones, to the impact of wounds, disease, and ageing.

You might not like numbers when you have to do your maths homework, but it would be hard to live without them. Imagine how difficult life would be if you couldn't count things or be precise about time, distance or price. You wouldn't know how old you are, or how long you have to wait until it's the holiday. We couldn't build anything accurately, we'd have no computers and you couldn't even go shopping. You Wouldn't Want to Live Without Numbers! is part of a brand-new science and technology strand within the internationally acclaimed You Wouldn't Want to Be series. The clear, engaging text and humorous illustrations bring the subject to life and stimulate young readers' curiosity about the world around them.

Open up this stunning volume, with its bejeweled cover, and enter the magical world of Camelot. Inside, the wizard Merlin recounts the story of King Arthur, from his birth to his fatal fight with his archenemy Mordred, and each spread deals with an important episode in Arthur’s life: drawing the sword from the stone; the creation of the Knights of the Round Table; Guinevere’s arrival, and more. Special interactive features throughout—including a pull-out guide to Camelot, love letters from the queen to Lancelot, a lenticular grail, pull-tabs that transform a king into a duke, large flaps, and a board game at the end—add to the richness, wonder, and romance of this remarkable medieval tale.
