The Museum of Odd Body Leftovers: A Tour of Your Useless Parts, Flaws, and Other Weird Bits<\/em>

Booktalk:<\/strong> Welcome to the weirdest museum you\u2019ll ever explore–the one inside your body.<\/em> <\/p>\n

Did you know your amazing, incredible body is a walking, talking museum of evolution? Tour guides Wisdom Tooth and Disappearing Kidney lead readers through a wacky museum dedicated to vestigial structures: body parts that were essential to our ancestors but are no longer useful to us–even though they\u2019re still hanging around. <\/p>\n

From goosebumps and hiccups to exploding organs and monkey muscles, each room in the museum shows us that these parts have stories to tell us about our past. By the time we make it to the gift shop, we\u2019ll understand that evolution is not only messy and imperfect, but also ongoing. Our bodies are constantly changing along with the environment we live in–and there\u2019s so much that is still unknown, just waiting to be discovered. <\/p>\n
