The Blood-Hungry Spleen and Other Poems About Our Parts by Allan Wolf

Makes a terrific and enriching addition to any life-science course and a charming gateway into deeper discussions of the body. -- School Library Journal

Have you ever wondered what some of your body parts do? How many times a year your heart beats? How big your small intestines are? Which of your muscles looks most like a slug? Certain to appeal to elementary-school children, these thirty-four humorous, anatomically accurate poems explore the workings of our bodies with great verve and enthusiasm -- and plenty of outrageous illustrations.

Allan Wolf is the author of the award-winning New Found Land: Lewis and Clark's Journey of Exploration as well as the young adult novel Zane's Trail. He is currently based in Asheville, North Carolina.
