My daughter's favorite book

This is my 2-year-old daughter's favorite book. The book has helped her understand a little bit more about bones, and I think it also awakens curiosity about what other mysteries might be hidden inside the body. I agree with another reviewer who said that there may be too much info about CAT scans and MRI for a small toddler, so I just abridge those pages ("This is a machine for taking pictures of the inside of your head!" and "This is another way to take pictures of the inside of your body -- you slide into this big tube and they take pictures," etc.) Olivia especially likes the wrist x-rays, the ultrasound baby and the dentist's x-ray of the mouth.

Good teaching tool

This book is a great way to introduce children to x-rays. The book comes with copies of real x-rays which help in explaining to children what will happen when getting an x-ray.

Excellent Book

As a teacher, it is very hard to find books when we learn the letter 'x' in class. The story is great and the xrays that come with the story are awesome. The kids absolutely love them. Excellent purchase.

Jessica's X-Ray

This book is an amazing learning tool for kids and adults. Anyone could find useful information in Jessica's X-Ray. For kids though, the real X-ray's that you find within the book allow kids to become intrigued and raise there level of interest in the subject matter. I would recommend this book to anyone but especially children who might need any sort of X-ray, there is no doubt in my mind that it would ease their worries and facilitate a much easier and enjoyble experience in the hospital or doctors office. Thanks, Allison

X-Rays Up close!

This is a great story for any child who has an interest in bones, doctors, hospitals, the human body etc. The illustrations are cute. The story is of a little girl, Jessica, who has broken her arm. As she is receiving care at the hospital, she sees all different types of x-rays and the different types of equipment that take them. The best part of all is that there are real X-rays on every other page for kids to study up close. My preschoolers really enjoyed spending some time looking over those pages. It's a very unique book. I would highly recommend it for the budding scientist or for any child who may have to have X-rays of their own taken.
