Describes the characteristics and function of blood, and its importance to all parts of the body. The photographs fit the text well and show great detail. The facts are accurate except for one page that I think might lead to misconceptions with early readers. It describes blood as taking food to our bodies. It is possible that young children may think that blood actually takes the actual food around our bodies. It seems there might be another, simple, way of describing the process.
