What is The Blood-hungry Spleen and Other Poems About Our Parts : and Other Poems About Our Parts about?

<b>Ears have drums (but don't play them), knees wear caps (even in church), and a boneless boy turns into a human puddle in this book of wacky-and anatomically accurate-poems about our body parts.</b><p>To the left of your stomach, a deep violet-red,<br>a filter's at work filling blood cells with dread:<br>The red blood cell graveyard! It's not Halloween.<br>I'm talking about that blood basher, the spleen.</p><p>Have you ever wondered just exactly what some of your body parts do? How many times a year your heart beats?How big your small intestines are? And, equally noteworthy, which of your muscles looks most like a slug? Certain to appeal to elementary-school children, this unique and humorous book uses poetry to explore the amazing workings of our bodies. With great verve and enthusiasm-and plenty of outrageous illustrations-Allan Wolf and Greg Clarke tickle the funny bone in these thirty-four poems while answering some of those deep anatomical questions.</p> <p>More than three dozen poems describe individual parts of the body and what they do for us and for some parts, such as the face, the verses describe how we communicate nonverbally with other people.<
