I bought this book for my 5 year old. My mother had a triple-heart bypass and my daughter who was 4 1/2 at the time wanted to know more about what happened to Nanny's heart. Where is my heart she asked ?
This book describes the body to a child with clear drawings in a language which is easy to comprehend without causing concern. Full marks to the author/illustrator and the bookseller, in California, who recommended it to me.
An excellent and well read present/gift.

informative but creepy
19 Mar 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
At the moment my 5 year old daughter is fascinated with the workings of the body - she says she wants to be a surgeon! I got this for her, and it does contains lots of basic and informative information about human anatomy and the systems that run the body. My only complaint, and it is a pretty big one, is that the illustrations actually creep me out. My daughter does not voice this opinion, but she was reserved in her reaction to the book. The illustrations are supposed to look like a child has drawn them with crayon, but they are presented as drawings of the very same girl who narrates the book, but she is missing her face, or her face is part skull, etc. It just struck me as a bit jarring, and I'll be interested to look at other books for the same age group on this topic. Also, the reproductive system is conveniently skipped, which would be of enormous interest to the kids, but force the folks to have a longer bed time story!

The best book of anatomy for children
23 Nov 2000
Format:Paperback
This is the absolute best book of anatomy for children. I looked everywhere for a book for my 3 year old daughter, that wasn't too advanced, but at the same time remained interesting. This book would be great for kids up to 8 years old. It explains all aspects of your body such as a discussion of how your skeleton holds up your skin and, at the same time, protects the softer insides of your body. It also discusses your how your muscles work, how your body receives energy from your food, and how your heart, lungs, veins, and arteries all work together. It's a great discussion starter. I really can't say enough about this book... It's just great!

We got a lot out of this book!
14 Aug 2002
Format:Paperback
We found this one in the library. It is the best book about anatomy and physiology I've seen for for the preschooler age. My girls (3 and 5) have never really understood the other books we've read on the subject, and this one just clicked for them.
My 5-year-old was so impressed by the information on nutrition that she copied the pyramid out of the book, put it up on the refrigerator, and now makes sure she's eaten the proper number of servings each day.
