Snot, wees, farts, feelings... they all come from somewhere, and that's YOU! But what starts a wee? Where do burps go after they've escaped? And why is a sneeze SO loud?
Along Came a... Burp answers all these questions about the HUMAN BODY and more, in hilarious comic-book style. Featuring a host of colourful characters - from stinky poos to speedy sneezes - each with their own mini story to tell about exactly how they came along. This book is perfect for young readers who love storybooks, but have LOTS of questions to answer.
