Reviews

Jim Al-Khalili has done an admirable job of condensing the ideas of quantum physics from Max Planck to the possibilities of quantum computers into brisk, straightforward English

—— The Times

The artwork is gloriously retro, echoing the original Ladybird house style but containing completely up to date information.

—— Shiny New Books

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

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

—— Dr Xand van Tulleken
