EASY EXCELLENCE, 12 Aug 2011
By Dan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Color Yourself Smart: Human Anatomy (Hardcover)
I just received my copy of Color Yourself Smart and it is fantastic! My girls want to work on this when they get home from camp tonight. I started reading them some of the interesting and fun facts on the pages, and they are very excited to learn more.
As a Chiropractor, this is something I am considering giving to all my new practice members, to help them get a deeper understanding of how the body works and easy things they can do to be healthier. The coloring is an extra bonus and it is a great way to educate kids and adults on the how and why our muscles, bones, etc work the way they do.
I highly recommend this book. It is easy to tell that this is a labor of love and dedication.
Well worth the price.

The Best Gift, 13 Nov 2011
By Michael J. Zimmerman - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Color Yourself Smart: Human Anatomy (Hardcover)
This is an incredible book not only because the illustrations are so clear, detailed and explanatory, not only because the coloring aspect is so cool *Love the built-in pencil case* but mostly because the WRITING is so FRESH, CLEAN, PERSONAL, CONVERSATIONAL, and super-intelligent. How many times have I cracked open a book on a complicated subject and felt like I was a second-grader in a fifth-year college class? NOT SO with this book. Conversely, how many times have I read a book and thought, "Geez, the writing here is so... pedantic or didactic or even patronizing...?" Again, NOT SO with this book. Wendy Leonard writes the way real people communicate and talk--she teaches in a manner that is easily understood--and this time she applies her phenomenal skills to describe the world's most complex machine: the human body. I can recommend this book for pretty much everybody: teens and adults alike will enjoy learning and it's a fantastic reference. Have you ever gone to the doctor and she said, "Your lymph nodes are troubling me," or ""You've strained your Trapezius," or "There appears to be foreign debris in your middle ear," and you just nodded your head because you didn't want to look like an idiot? Well now you can rush home and see what the hell the doctor is talking about!! Buy this book if you're old enough to color in the lines.
