Customer Reviews

very impressed

I received the book on time and it is appropriate for my daughter who is three and very much into science and skeletons.

Great for young scientific minds!

My 6 yr old son prefers nonfiction books and it can be tough to find them on his level. He loves all the books from this series.

Good for different ages

We read this book with our 3 year old and our 7 year old. They both like it. Neither is overly interested in science but this book does a good job relating to children, educating and yet keeping it interesting. They like to shout out "reflex" anytime someone has a reflex (sneeze, yawn, etc.) for a couple of days after reading the book. Well worth it and fun for parents too.

Why I Sneeze, Shiver...

Although it was a bit long to hold attention (mostly the other adults in the room) the kids seemed to get a lot out of it, asking questions and remembering when they had been in a similar situation as the person in the throws of the problem. Kids and adults learned from it in our house.

Young, inquisitive minds

Even if your youngster hasn't asked, this book helps the "thinking" process of asking "why". When this question is asked about things that they can understand, it begins the process of asking why about lots of other things. Great for those who also ask why on their own.
