Three spreads from the book, as printed.
The stomach, the third stop.
The villi in the wall of the small intestine, catching nutrients as they go past.
The bacteria that live in the large intestine.
Chewed in the mouth, churned in the stomach into something like a smoothie, then broken down in the small intestine, where the body keeps the small pieces it needs and they become part of the child reading about them. The rest carries on into the gut, where trillions of bacteria live, and comes out the other end as poop.
Those small pieces are the nutrients, and the last stretch of the book gives each one a job. Sugar and starch for running around, fat for a brain that is still growing, protein for muscle and hair and skin, fiber for the bacteria.
Eight stops from mouth to gut, as printable cards, a matching game and coloring sheets. Free.
Starts on a child's own hand, ends at their DNA.
One protein, from the instruction for it to the job it does.
Inside one cell, then the different cells of a body.
One cell dividing into two, and where the instructions came from.
