Ombligo

2000

La historia del ombligo es una historia apasionante. ¿Para qué sirve el ombligo? ¿Por qué es como es? ¿Tenemos todos ombligo? En este libro aprenderemos cosas importantes sobre nuestro nacimiento. Ombligo forma parte de la serie «El mapa de mi cuerpo», compuesta por seis títulos. Su autor, Genichiro Yagyu es japonés. De niño tenía mala vista y llevaba unas gafas redondas de montura blanca que parecían rodajas de nabos, por lo que en el colegio le llamaban «gafas de nabo». Esto le dio que pensar durante algún tiempo. Cuando dejó de darle importancia, empezó a preocuparse por sus nalgas regordetas, y más tarde por sus agujeros de la nariz. Después de tanto mirarse y de mirar a los demás, era natural que acabara haciendo estos libros para conocer un poco mejor nuestro cuerpo y comprender su funcionamiento. Cuando no tengamos nada mejor que hacer, Genichiro Yagyu recomienda mirarse el ombligo.
