You Can't Take Your Body to a Car Mechanic

This entry in the You Can't series explores the science, physiology, symptoms, treatments, and main causes of common ailments. Colds, bellyaches, diarrhea, earaches, flu, skin conditions, allergies, germs, viruses and a glossary of types of doctors are featured. Humorous poems appear throughout, and the book is topped off with a Note to Parents from the author/physician and a page of simple activities and kickstarting questions that expand the child's understanding of the subject matter.
