You must be here for the tour! I am honored to welcome you to the lively and thriving community known as... the mouth!

Synopsis

“The Digestive System: A Tour Through Your Guts” narrates the process of digestion from mastication in the mouth to excretion in the rectum. Narrated as a tour guide, this story is told by a bacterium named E to the reader, offering insight in complexities of biological processes that occur in the digestive system.

Why should I read this book?

The graphic novel takes on a humorous and lighthearted tone to explain a complex process like digestion. It also explains basic biological and chemical processes and uses them to describe more complex concepts later on, making it an easy read for most audiences.

Who is this book best for?

Due to the graphic novel being somewhat dense with biology concepts, it is most suitable for middle school students or older. It also requires a certain amount of critical thinking to piece together an understanding of basic concepts to explain more complex ones.
