Poemenclature: Poems About Your Body is a perfect introduction into the complex world of organs, disease, and the tools needed for and diagnosing and treating many serious childhood conditions. Using playful poems and Learn More! sections on each page, Dr. Cunningham breaks down these topics in a way that children and their parents alike can understand. Susan Detwiler's charming and clever illustrations further enhance and explain the text in ways that children can relate to. As a former neo-natal and pediatric nurse, now children's book author and llustrator and mom to three children, I believe this book would make an excellent addition and resource for school classrooms, doctor offices, and any parent looking for books to explain these serious topics in a very child-friendly way. Joan Waites, illustrator of What's New at the Zoo? An Animal Adding Adventure and many other children's books (2009) and recipient of the Teacher's Choice Award, the Benjamin Franklin Award, and numerous others Dr. Steven Cunningham's new book of poems about the human body, Poemenclature, is loaded with humor, facts, and fancy, along with some whimsical color illustrations by Susan Detwiler. In addition to human anatomy, the poems reference diseases and doctor's tools. Enjoy it! Douglas Florian, author of Dinothesaurus (2009), a Kirkus Reviews Best Book of the Year, a Horn Book Fanfare List selection and a Junior Library Guild selection; Lizards, Frogs and Polliwogs (2005), a Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book; and Gryphon Award-winner and Parents Magazine Best Book of the Year Bow Wow Meow Meow (2003) This is an exciting and worthwhile addition to literature for kids. The poems are fun to read and convey a lot of information. The Learn More! section on each topic is wonderful. The illustrations are lively, accurate, and often amusing.
