Seeing (Body in Action) - Softcover

This is an innovative new body series with commissioned photos and detailed anatomical illustrations to show children how their bodies work inside and out. They can find out how they move, eat, see, think and feel. The series looks at what goes on inside the body during everyday activities such as riding a bike, eating an apple, reading a book or doing a sum. Each book shows how the body can become ill and how to keep healthy. There are also explanations of common disabilities.What happens inside your eyes when you read a magazine or watch a film? In this book you can see for yourself how your eyes form pictures, how they focus on objects close up or far away, and how they let you see in colour. There is information on how your eyes need looking after, how glasses work and also how blindness occurs.
