On my school trip to Planet Earth, I studied Earthlings who are weird but also very interesting, as you will discover in my brilliant project. Sorry about the scribbles – Zonki.

Learn all about the human body through the eyes of Zonki, an alien on a school trip to planet Earth, in this funny and fact-filled science book by Jeanne Willis.
