About This Book
A parent should reach for this book when their curious child starts asking endless, slightly gross questions about what happens to food after they swallow it. Instead of a dry textbook, this book presents the entire digestive process as a zany, Vaudeville-style musical. A plucky piece of candy is the star, encountering singing organs and enzymes on its journey from mouth to... well, the exit. It brilliantly blends scientific accuracy with laugh-out-loud humor and catchy song lyrics, making complex biology accessible and fun. Perfect for reluctant nonfiction readers, it turns a science lesson into pure entertainment, encouraging curiosity and a sense of wonder about the human body.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book's content is focused on biological processes. It contains a significant amount of potty humor (discussions of poop, farts, burps) that is presented in a factual yet comedic way. The main character (a piece of candy) is effectively destroyed and broken down for nutrients, but this is handled metaphorically and humorously, not as a frightening death scene.
