"Amy the tiny sweetcorn’s hilariously fearless and informative exploration of Noah’s digestive system"
From the duo behind the award winning and best-selling Kay’s Anatomy and Kay’s Marvellous Medicine we have a debut picturebook that proves they are just as successful at communicating biological facts accurately for three-to five-year-olds, as they are for older readers.
Paker’s vibrant and zany illustrations, here in full colour glory, are the perfect foil for Kay’s nerdy enthusiasm for explaining how bodies work. Young children are completely fascinated by everything toilet related and immediately recognising the emoji style poo on the cover, will find the book irresistible.
The action speeds along just as quickly as sweetcorn through the digestive tract and the use of cartoon strips and speech bubbles help inform the reader about the processes along Amy’s anatomically correct journey and hand out healthy eating tips on the way. The non digestion of sweetcorn is legendary and to pick the only vegetable that could tell the full sticky story is a stroke of genius. Even adults may learn something.
The only slightly disconcerting but undeniably topical note is the final image of Amy and her poo ship sailing out to sea! We can’t be quite as cheery about this as Amy is! I do hope more human body explanations for this age group are planned - they are just what the doctor ordered!

The first-ever picture book from Adam Kay and Henry Paker. This is the hilarious (and admittedly a tiny bit gross) tale of Amy, a small piece of sweetcorn who is eaten by Noah, a medium-sized boy.
