“There’s no better way to explain your own body to children.” – @_weltenwanderin_
“A reading tour through the human body: a brilliant idea! […] You can stick to the story or take a detour into the additional facts that are interspersed with the story and the station in Jojo’s body – all illustrated in a child-friendly way, of course.” – Stiftung Lesen
“One can only marvel at how much knowledge fits onto 60 pages and how amusingly this knowledge can be conveyed […] The book is very, very recommendable, also because it can be picked up again and again over many years and re-read according to the child’s level and can certainly also be used in science lessons.” – Dagmar Pliefke, Arbeitsgemeinschaft Jugendliteratur und Medien der GEW (AJuM)
“Entertaining, exciting and informative. Suitable for readers between the ages of 6 and 10, the factual knowledge paired with a fast-paced story and witty dialogue is very appealing and successful.” – Doreen @lesenmitausblick

“The factual information about the human body is packed into an entertaining and humorous story. Children learn about different organs, cells and body parts in a playful way […] – a great recommendation, even the adult reader is sure to discover something new!” – @buechereiosternburg
“A particularly great children’s book […] The book is both an entertaining, adventurous and humorous story, but also a very special book experience with exciting facts and discoveries about the various “stations” in the body…” – Esther Brauns @einfach_esther
“Klement tells the story of the adventures of the three very different cells in a captivating and witty way. The hands-on ideas are extraordinary, including inviting readers to guess feelings based on facial expressions or to feel the muscles of the body. The combination of factual history and factual knowledge is extremely successful.” – Bianca Grittmann, ekz Bibliotheksservice
“A wonderful non-fiction book for children aged 6 and up, with which young readers can experience a journey through the body. But even as an adult you can still learn a lot from this book.” – Pauline @books_coffee_and_cookies
