Customer Reviews

This is entertaining, informative and fun book even the most reluctant reader will enjoy!

You know what you look like because you can always look in a mirror and check yourself out, but what about your insides? You know how you feel on the inside, you know if you have a tummy ache, a headache, but what do you look like inside your body and how do things work? When you open up this book you see a smiling boy and his dog and if you hold the book up to a light source you can see their skeletons. Everyone looks a bit different on the outside, but on the inside we all look alike! In this book you will learn about your senses, why you need teeth, why you have bones, why you need muscles, why you have skin, how your stomach works, what your lungs do, the function of your kidneys, what your liver does, what your heart does and how your brain works. Each section will tell you some very interesting facts and when you hold up some of these pages to a light you'll be pleasantly surprised. Did you know that "bone is very strong--it is six times stronger than a steel bar of the same size." This is a very popular book with the elementary school child. It is entertaining, informative and fun. Even the most reluctant reader will get excited by discovering what he or she can see hidden in these pages. The illustrations are lighthearted and have just enough detail without going overboard. In the back of the book are some experimental "things to do," a "words to remember" page and an index. This is a great how, why and what kind of book that should be on every homeschool and classroom shelf!
