How My Body Works: The Muscles (Vol. 1) is the opening title in the classic How My Body Works educational series — a fun, illustrated guide that explains the wonders of the human body in a way that’s easy for children to understand. This first volume focuses on muscles: what they are, how they work, and why we need them for everything from standing up and walking to laughing and swallowing.
The book is packed with fascinating facts, practical advice on keeping muscles healthy through diet and exercise, and engaging illustrations that make anatomy feel approachable and exciting.
