Bookroo's summary

What happens to food after you swallow it? This True Book explains how the digestive system works, following food from the mouth through the stomach and intestines as the body breaks it down for energy, with photos, sidebars, a glossary and an index for young researchers.

From the publisher

Animals. American History. Earth Science. Geography. Health. Space. True Books covers all this and more in photo-filled chapter books that provide a basic introduction to curriculum-relevant topics. Ideal for today’s young investigative reader, each True Book includes lively sidebars, a glossary and an index, plus a comprehensive “To Find Out More” section listing books, organizations, and Internet sites. A staple of library collections since the 1950s, and redesigned with a fresh new look in 1996, the new True Books series is the definitive nonfiction series for elementary school readers.
