Random Body Parts: Gross Anatomy Riddles in Verse (Bulion Leslie)(Paperback)

Humorous, Shakespearean-inspired verse about body parts blends with whimsical art in this award-winning science poetry collection from Leslie Bulion.
Leslie Bulion's award-winning volume of anatomical verse begins with an invitation to solve a series of poetic riddles: Of course you have a body, / But do you have a clue / Where all the body parts you've got are found / And what they do?
