...it is like listening to a teacher who makes pupils fall about

—— The Sunday Times

Kay's Anatomy is totally brilliant - it's ultra child-friendly and chatty, and any young reader will learn a great deal about the body as they chuckle through each chapter.

—— Jacqueline Wilson

Perfect for days of home-schooling!

—— South Wales Echo

It's fun and informative and just the sort of book I would've loved as a child. And I loved the True or Poo sections!

—— Malorie Blackman

If only this funny and informative book had been around when I was too embarrassed to teach my kids about bodily functions

—— David Baddiel

Hilarious and fascinating! I wish Adam had been my biology teacher

—— Konnie Huq

Packed with anatomical facts - and very funny - this exciting book is bound to inspire the next generation of medics

—— Sunday Express

This is brilliant. I'm not jealous that I didn't write it at all. No, not one little bit.

—— Dr Ranj Singh

Much funnier and more informative and more gross than Gray's Anatomy... I highly recommend for anyone
