Reviews

"Understanding how our bodies work is an important part of learning about who we are as humans as well as individuals. The books in the Your Body series provide an excellent introduction to the major body systems that most young children want to know more about. The series includes books on muscles, lungs, the heart, the brain, bones, and the stomach, and, although short (24 pages each), they each contain a very good description of the body part and how it works. Drawings superimposed over actual pictures of children locate the organ being described and help the reader visualize what is being discussed in the text. Each book also contains vocabulary, some as footnotes and some in a glossary; an activity for the reader to do; fun facts; and a list of books and Internet sites for further information. The books are very use friendly and would make excellent reference books for the classroom teacher who is looking for some simple, yet well-thought-out, activities that help to answer questions about how our bodies work. The books would do equally well as a reference for any child needing to do some basic research or simply to satisfy the curiosity of an inquisitive child. Highly Recommended.-- ""Science Books and Film"""
