'This is a wonderful and eye-opening guide to the smallest things in the world, and well worth a read.' - Book Trust - Book of the Day
'Gut Garden entices the reader in. My children and I were particularly drawn to the illustrations of the internal organs and explanations of how microbes work. I can honestly admit to learning quite a lot from this book and it would make an excellent resource for science lessons in a primary school. I can see my family coming back to this book time and time again. It was cleverly explained and clearly Katie Brosnan has done her research on our digestive system. We spent ages reading this book!
