Customer Reviews

Education made fun!

Finally, there is a book that actually caters to the age when children first start to become more aware of and curious about their bodies! One of my babysitting charges always reached for the book about human anatomy during reading time...and although she enjoyed it for the pictures, I was disappointed by how "clinical" the text was. I can't wait to share this delightful book and CD with her - my only complaint is that "My Bodyworks" wasn't around when I was a kid!

Well-Written and the Songs Are Good too.

Teacher Jane Schoenberg and her husband Steven, a Musician, have teamed up to create a wonderful book/CD combo explaining to kids all about how the body works. The songs deal with body functions like movement and muscles, the brain, breathing, and even passing gas. They not only wrote the book but they also perform all of the songs. The music was quite fun and my three year old enjoys many of the songs. The lyrics are catchy, here is an example: Your brain keeps sending messages right out, Tells you to be quiet, and tells you when to shout, Tells you when you're happy, tells you when you're sad, Tells you when you're feeling hot or cold or hurting bad. Simple but rhythmic which kids will enjoy. Nicely illustrated as well. Great for pre-schoolers up to grade 1 at least.

My granddaughter LOVES this book and CD

This book is great. The illustrations are wonderful, and the CD is the first children's CD that we can listen to again and again. We have given many copies as gifts. Children and parents have been pleased with both the book and the music.

Not just for Kids

As a longtime babysitter, and a childhood Raffi junkie, my standards for 'children's music' have always been high. Finally, after 10 years of suffering the popularity of 'Barney' , we have an antidote! This book/CD has music that kids love and I actually ENJOY. The sophistication of the songs, the intelligence of the lyrics, and the up-beat pace all keep me interested. The kids just start to move, almost unwittingly, which allows them get their energy out in a positive way. Definitely a long car ride keeper.

My Bodyworks Rocks

My Bodyworks is amazing. The songs are cool, but the fart song really blew me away! You can learn a lot about your body by singing along and following the words in the book. Even my parents (who don't usually get a kick out of this kind of stuff) loved it.
