Captions provide additional information. The writing style will appeal to young readers, with descriptions that are clever and humorous. In addition to the vivid images conjured by the prose, there is the added feature of augmented reality. Using the app, readers can watch blood cells moving, stomach acid squirting, or a cavity forming. Back matter includes a glossary, further reading, and a list of gross facts.
