What Happens to Hamburger

This book was hunted down for sentimental reasons but now my twin boys LOVE it!!! Great book with terrific educational value too - two things in one - gotta love that!!

Easy to Understand

I got this book to help my 4 year old son understand why we poop. We're having some battles over potty training, and I wanted him to know the whole process, in hopes that he would have less anxiety about pooping on the potty. He understands digestion now, and we talk about it frequently, but alas, no pooping on the potty!

Digestion from Start to Finish

This book is about a diner cook who loves to eat healthy food and we find out what happens to that food in this well written and illustrated book by Paul Showers and Edward Miller. There are little experiments and up close photos of digestive organs which can delightfully gross out your child while one reads and learns about this important system of the body. My 4 year old daughter wants to be a doctor when she grows up so I am always on the look out for books about the body. I love all of the "Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science" books and they have several very good books available regarding how the body works.

A wonderful book!

My 5-year-old son thinks it is good because it teaches how the food gets digested. My 8-year-old daughter thinks she learned a lot from the book. I personally enjoy reading it too!

Easy enough for my 3-year-old to understand!

I checked this book out from the library, and now I have to buy it because my son keeps asking for the "hamburger book". It has lots of pictures for the little ones to understand and both simple and complex wording for kids in different language learning stages. My son is so proud that he can say "epiglotis" and tell you what it is! This book certainly answers the question "where does poop come from?" in a child-friendly way.
