Everyone knows that the knee bone is connected to the shin bone, but they probably don't how the two are attached-- by springs, bicycle gears, and very sticky duct tape! After all, kids are complex creatures, complete with trap doors, bungee cords, and, of course, lightbulbs (for when they have good ideas). Alan Snow's classic tongue-in-cheek sense of humor gets an extra boost from actual tongues and cheeks, and his clever illustrations of kids' inner workings become the backdrop for hundreds of real-life--and really astonishing--facts about the human anatomy.

Alan Snow

Alan Snow is an award-winning children's book illustrator and designer who has worked on more than 160 books. His novel, Here Be Monsters (OUP, 2005),was made into an animated film, The Boxtrolls, which spent several weeks at the top of the UK box office in 2015.

Fascinated with 'how things work', Alan turned his attentions towards the kitchen, acquiring sophisticated equipment such as vacuum machine, centrifuge, freeze dryer and shock chiller, and has developed his own culinary 'lab'. He has since consulted for The Ethicurian restaurant, and is in the process of launching a boutique ice cream parlour in the Cotswolds, with a nod to Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory.

Alan now runs workshops and courses for professional chefs and cooks, and his gastronomic experiments are due to be filmed for a documentary.
