Squirt! by Trudee Romanek

Do you know that by the time you’re an adult, you’ll have about 96,000 km of blood vessels—enough to reach around the earth twice? Or that when your heart will beat roughly 2.5 billion times over your lifetime? Or how to make model blood from lemon jello? You can find out even more wonderful things about blood from this book. It’s well illustrated with drawings and has some interesting follow up activities—like how to find out if your hands are as strong as your heart.
