Customer Reviews

Unbelievably simple and complete.

This book is clear and simple. It covers everything without being complicated. It is easy for kids to understand without talking down to them. I highly recommend this book!

Simply presented, medically correct, fun for preschoolers

A wonderfully illustrated explanation of how our bodies work, presented in kid-friendly language that is comprehensible and appealing to preschoolers. Simple yet medically correct discussion of internal organs, bones, the circulatory system, and more. A great book to help young children understand the complex and abstract functions that happen inside our skin, where we can't see them.

We got a lot out of this book!

We found this one in the library. It is the best book about anatomy and physiology I've seen for for the preschooler age. My girls (3 and 5) have never really understood the other books we've read on the subject, and this one just clicked for them.My 5-year-old was so impressed by the information on nutrition that she copied the pyramid out of the book, put it up on the refrigerator, and now makes sure she's eaten the proper number of servings each day.

A Great Intro for Body Discussions

This book is a great introduction about the function of body parts for little people. I like the idea of starting to talk matter-of-factly with my four year old about how his body works. I hope this will open the door and make future talks about more intimate issues easier.

The best book of anatomy for children

This is the absolute best book of anatomy for children. I looked everywhere for a book for my 3 year old daughter, that wasn't too advanced, but at the same time remained interesting. This book would be great for kids up to 8 years old. It explains all aspects of your body such as a discussion of how your skeleton holds up your skin and, at the same time, protects the softer insides of your body. It also discusses your how your muscles work, how your body receives energy from your food, and how your heart, lungs, veins, and arteries all work together. It's a great discussion starter. I really can't say enough about this book... It's just great!
