“动态、醒目的插图……详细介绍了一个复杂的主题。”——《科克斯评论》

在这本充满活力、内容丰富的图画书中，了解DNA的密码!

你的身体里有一个密码，叫做DNA。

它会告诉身体细胞每天应该做什么。

它看起来像扭曲的梯子，或像小型的、旋转的面条。

它让我们成为人，而不是贵宾犬。

为什么人类不能在水下呼吸？为什么有些人高，有些人矮？为什么我们与我们的父母和祖父母相似？本书以流畅押韵的文字探讨了以上等等问题，以简单易懂的方式解释了细胞、DNA、遗传学。本书内容丰富、图文并茂，阐明了虽然DNA可能决定了一个人的长相，但选择如何对待自己的身体，完全取决于你自己！

"Dynamic and eye-catching illustrations. . . . A solid introduction to a complex topic." -Kirkus Reviews

Learn about the secret code that is DNA in this vibrant and informative picture book!

There's a secret code inside you, a code called DNA.

A code that tells your body's cells what they should do each day.

It looks like twisted ladders, or tiny, twirling noodles.

It makes us into people, instead of into poodles.

Why can't humans breathe underwater? Why are some people tall and others short? Why do we resemble our parents and grandparents? This book explores all this and more in flowing, rhyming text, explaining cells, DNA, and genetics in a way that is simple and easy for children to understand. Colorful and brilliantly illustrated, The Secret Code Inside You illustrates that while DNA may be the blueprint for how a person looks, what you choose to do with your body is entirely up to you!
