Big Book of the Body is a beautiful colorful children's book with large pull out pages. It goes over various parts and systems of the body like bones, muscles, lungs, heart and blood, the digestive system, your brain and a few others. It is factual and fun and never boring or too difficult to understand. I love the cute illustrations and the pull out pages give us an amazing overview of the entire skeleton with facts all over the page. For instance, did you know you are born with 300 bones but as you grow some of them join together leaving you with 206 adult bones? This book is fascinating and kept me entertained for a good long while. I can't wait to share this one with my granddaughter!

One of the best books I've ever seen for teaching kids the basics about the body and it's primary organ systems.

A bit of misinformation and some unnecessary yoga poses in the illustrations, but it was fine otherwise.
