Survive! Inside the Human Body

This is the third volume of Survive! Inside the Human Body.

Geo and Dr. Brain travel to the brain and learn all about the cerebrum and synapses. Then they discover that Phoebe has a tumor in her brain so they take a sample of it to find out whether it's benign or malignant. They escape through the eye, and with the help of Kay, they find out that it's benign, but the tumor is pressing on the brain stem which could kill Phoebe. Kay and Geo go back inside Phoebe inside the SS Hippocrates (their ship). Dr. Brain uses the syringe they're in and injects near Phoebe's spine. They destroy the tumor with microbubbles and all is well.

I learned about that wrinkles that separate the different sections of the brain and can also save space because the brain, if there were no wrinkles, would be about the size of a newspaper. Ze End.

[Mom's Note: This is a graphic novel translated from Korean, sorta along the same lines as Magic School Bus.]

The Twelve Days of Christmas by Laurel Long

What I liked about this book was the artwork, which shows you the things that are mentioned in the lyrics.
