Allan Sanders is a children's book illustrator with a quirky graphic style. Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 1999 Allan has worked with clients including Pan Macmillan, Penguin USA and Quarto. His first book for Templar was How Machines Work.

This is an exceptional book that had my children (aged 3 and 4) gripped. The illustrations are great and the lifting of flaps really helps to engage the reader. Content has been well thought out and is pitched at the right level, the organs and various functions of the body are explained carefully and with just enough detail so as not to overwhelm little ones and lose their interest. As neuroscientists ourselves, we were very impressed with the section on the brain. We will doubtless refer back to this book again and again.
