Shelves: middle-grade , nonfiction , sciencey , want-to-own

This book covers parts of the human body and what their jobs are. It is divided into sections with fun titles like 'food crew and trash gang' which covers the digestive and excretory systems. There seems to be a random inclusion of parts at times. It is impossible to cover e ...more

My five year old LOVES this book. He pores over it and spouts out facts about the human body all day. I have now had to renew it four times. This is one to buy and keep at home!

Shelves: non-fiction , from-library , middle-grades

This is an appealing book and it has solid information - and a lot of it. My only question about the book is whether the cartoonish pictures are the best way to illustrate the concepts. Pluses are that they will appeal to kids and the anthropomorphic character of the cartoon ...more
