Reassuring readers that when a body makes noise it is doing what comes naturally, My Noisy Body looks at the human voice, burps, hiccups, stomach growls, farts, sneezes and coughs. Two page spreads explain how and why body sounds happen. As well, readers learn about a stethoscope and how using one can help a doctor listen to a patient's heart, lungs and stomach.

Did you know that humans are the only mammals to shed tears, that lips don't have sweat glands or that the speed of a sneeze is over 145 kilometers per hour? My Messy Body explains the physiology and purpose of tears, sweat, earwax, nasal mucus/snot, urine/pee, feces/poo, vomit and pus.
