My husband and 4 year old read this together every night. They absolutely love it. My 4 year old obviously doesn't understand everything but I have been absolutely amazed at what he does understand. He is obsessed with the human body now and is always talking about muscles and bones and his lungs.

It's amazing!
If a little child reads this whole book, he'll definitely be interested and his brain would be full after eating so much dainty information.
