Review: My 3 year old wanted to know how food gets to the stomach and beyond (of course). This book serves to explain how food is digested, how 1/2 of the skeleton looks (no feet, mom), and how a baby grows in the mother...but it misses muscles, circulatory system, nervous system and isn't very detailed when it does discuss the five senses. The main attraction of this book is the fascinating paper flash light that seems to illuminate the very good illustrations on transparencies. It is a winner - we just wish it covered more and answered more questions.

Review: The price is a little steep-- the book is child-sized, meaning it's about seven square inches big-- but boy does it make up for its size in presentation! The flip-transparencies are ingenious, as well as the method for viewing it. My 5 1/2 year old son couldn't put it down. Its language is clear but not dumbed-down. There may be a few vocabulary words that the younger readers will ask about. But honestly, this is a GREAT introduction to human anatomy for this age group-- by far the best one I've seen.
