Can anyone recommend any anatomy / how my body works type of books for a 5 year old. My DD has started asking a lot of questions about body parts, how they work and why etc particularly interested in the digestive process.

We have the book in the link, I think its aimed at more 8+, but it is accessible to my 5.5 year old. Lots of pictures, flaps to reveal things etc.

My nephew has a big anatomy poster in his room. It's a proper grown up one but he always preferred the realistic pictures to drawings for kids.
See what your kid likes.
I remember being fascinated by the disease pictures in my parents encyclopaedia when I was tiny and I always loved seeing body parts etc. In books 😂... Guess what I studied biology and then medicine.
