Summary: A great resource to read, browse and teach from
Comment: What a wonderful book this is! It is full of great illustrations and photographs to accompany the clear and concise text about the many aspects of the human body. The book starts with the single cell and the types of cells that make up our bodies. It then tackles each of the various structures in twelve chapters in a quite logical way. We are shown the skeletal system, muscular, nervous, endocrine, cardiovascular, immune, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive systems with a final chapter on the human life cycle.

It is a great help to a parent who wants to illustrate a simple point to a child. For example, I wanted to show my son why brushing a flossing teeth are important. I turned to page 157 and was able to show him how left over food and bacteria can infect the gums and how that can damage teeth. He was able to see how cavities cause problems. He discovered on his own that the nasal cavity is connected to the mouth as he suspected.

You can do the same thing with every system of the body. I have found this a resource to turn to again and again.

There is also a glossary with some nice illustrations and a good index.

Summary: nothing left uncovered
Comment: A big fun book for getting seeing how your body works. I like all the big colorful drawings and the close-up microscopic views of things like cells, hormones, bacteria, etc... It is fun to read about real life experiences e.g. learn how the immune system when you're sick...

Summary: Excellent for children and adults.
Comment: I borrowed this book from the library for my daughter, but soon I found myself reading it as much as she was! The illustrations are clear and thorough, and the explanations are concise. I highly recommend it.
