This was great and all the facts were interesting. Some of the facts were yucky and some funny.

This is a non fiction book. This book is a 3 because most of the words were quite easy. It wasn't my favourite but I would read it again if I forgot about a part of the body. One of the favourite things that I learned is that the hair on the outside of your skin is made from dead cells. I don't think this is a book for children younger than me. The body tricks to do on your friends are really fun pranks.

Operation Ouch, Your brilliant body is all about your brilliant body and how it can mend itself. Even though this book is factual / non - fictional it is still a book to make you chuckle. The amazing Doctor Chris and Xand will take you on a tour of your body from your nose hairs to your toenails and everything inbetween as Dr Chris says all the time. However I will warn you some of these facts can put you off your dinner so please eat your dinner before reading this book. Best of all, I can say to my Mom; "Mom, I read somewhere, that the body......." I am also able to state certain facts that even Mom did not know or has forgotten over time. A recommended read for leisure, health and knowledge.

I liked it because it was about the human body and I am going to be a doctor and it was funny. If you like learning about the human body, including the gross bits, then you should read this book!

I think other children should read this book,because it is funny and it is full of facts but, it is a fun way to learn so it isn't to boring to read.
