- Reading
- Read a poem aloud and leave a pause for guesses before checking its answer. Then use the accompanying facts or glossary to clarify any unfamiliar anatomy terms.
- Themes
- Anatomy through riddles: The poems offer clues to body parts and are accompanied by factual sidebars; the collection also includes a glossary and body diagram. Anatomy is presented through an informational, puzzle-led structure, with humour and verse shaping how readers encounter the subject.
- Poetic form and Shakespeare: Appended notes introduce poetic form and refer to Shakespearean works that inspired the verses. The collection offers a small amount of literary context alongside its anatomy content.
- Worth knowing
- Some verse uses vivid digestive imagery, including a line about acid and stomach contents.
