The end of the book has riddles about the information presented in the text. A list of fun facts, a glossary, a bibliography of books and Web sites, and an index! Other titles in series: Whose Ears Are These? Whose Eyes Are These? Whose Feet Are These? Whose Legs Are These? Whose Mouth Is This? Whose Nose Is This? Whose Skin Is This?"
