Critics Review
“I don’t know anyone who can take complex scientific concepts and make them more accessible, stimulating and fun than Emma Young. It is truly a kind of genius.” – Bill Bryson
By challenging their understanding of how things work, What If… You Didn’t Make Snot? covertly teaches its young readers about some of the fundamentals of human anatomy. Maybe without realising, children will discover key functions of our bodies… Along with piquing curiosity with each question, children will surely be gripped by the illustrations and anatomical diagrams that follow. – Ben Biggs * How it Works *
