Review Summary: I even learned a lot!
Review: Great resource for young children! My 3-year-old is into skeletons, and the digestive process, so this book was good for his little curious mind. Obviously, some of the concepts are a little advanced, but he'll get there one day! I even learned a lot! Some of the pages in my book were a little off-print, but my fault for not exchanging it.

Review Summary: Fabulous book!
Review: I got this book for my 6 year old son. I have a few books about the body and I have found that most are not descriptive enough when going through the body systems. They were fine when my son was younger, but now he asks many more questions and I find myself having a harder time explaining how the body works. So, I got this book along with a real working stethascope for children. Every night he loves reading through a few pages at time of this book. He really enjoys telling others what he has learned the night before... Sometimes the infomation is a little too descript, and other times not enough. But, overall, it is an excellent book to help your child understand the wonders of the human body. I would highly recommend this for children 5 years old and up.

Review Summary: Great for older kids, too!
Review: I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter who loves science. She enjoys it because it is easy to read, but still very informative. She will use some of the information for her science project at school this year. She saw the book at a friend's house, and I personally thought it was a little advanced for the 4 year old boy who owned it.

Review Summary: Why so many pictures of creepy-crawlies?
Review: I bought this book based on the reader reviews here since I don't live in an English-speaking country. I took a quick look before giving it to my daughter, but I was rather disturbed. There are a lot of pictures of bugs - like mites which feed off our skin and things like that. I wasn't expecting that in a human anatomy book. I was also disturbed by the internal photos of things like the esophogus - blech. Then on one page there is a picture of leaches. Having an intense phobia of leaches, I practically threw the book. Anyway, I've hidden it away and I don't know if I'm actually going to give it to her. I think I might just wait to buy her one when I'm back in the States and can thumb through the books before buying.
