Customer Reviews

Clear, cute, and surprisingly thorough

This book takes kids all the way from the big bang to the immune system in an easy to understand way. It does a great job of explaining the parts of the human body and sticking with established science. My only minor quibble is that they put smiley faces on the sperm when they explain how embryogenesis happens, whick doesn't seem to keep in tone with the rest of the book.
