First Book in Physiology and Hygiene

A warm, conversational guide invites young listeners into the astonishing “house” that is their own body. Using the familiar image of a comfortable home, the author walks children through each room—bones, muscles, lungs, and the beating heart—explaining how they work together. The narrative is peppered with simple, hands‑on experiments that transform abstract ideas into tangible experiences, encouraging kids to explore and verify what they hear.

Beyond anatomy, the book gently introduces the principles of healthy living, from wise food choices to the effects of stimulants and narcotics, all presented in clear, everyday language. Each chapter builds on the last, covering digestion, circulation, skin care, and the senses, while stressing good habits and practical hygiene. Listeners will come away with a solid foundation for caring for their own “house” and a curiosity that invites further discovery.
