 I even learned a lot! July 24, 2008
Great resource for young children! My 3-year-old is into skeletons, and the digestive process, so this book was good for his little curious mind. Obviously, some of the concepts are a little advanced, but he'll get there one day! I even learned a lot! Some of the pages in my book were a little off-print, but my fault for not exchanging it.
 Great for older kids, too! April 2, 2008
I bought this book for my 9 year old daughter who loves science. She enjoys it because it is easy to read, but still very informative. She will use some of the information for her science project at school this year. She saw the book at a friend's house, and I personally thought it was a little advanced for the 4 year old boy who owned it.
 Why so many pictures of creepy-crawlies? March 11, 2008

I bought this book based on the reader reviews here since I don't live in an English-speaking country. I took a quick look before giving it to my daughter, but I was rather disturbed. There are a lot of pictures of bugs - like mites which feed off our skin and things like that. I wasn't expecting that in a human anatomy book. I was also disturbed by the internal photos of things like the esophogus - blech. Then on one page there is a picture of leaches. Having an intense phobia of leaches, I practically threw the book. Anyway, I've hidden it away and I don't know if I'm actually going to give it to her. I think I might just wait to buy her one when I'm back in the States and can thumb through the books before buying.
This is a great book! May 13, 2007
My three year old twins love this book!
Highly recommend it!
Fabulous! November 29, 2006

I ordered this item to give as a gift, taking a chance that it would be as good as was reviewed here. I was DELIGHTED! This is a wonderful book for ANY child ages 4 to 12, I'd guess. Actually, I'm 34 and found it fascinating. The text is interesting, font not too small, not too technical or wordy. The mix of photos and models is just right. They have lots of interesting facts throughout, also. Did you know your hair can grow for up to 7 years before falling out? The writer puts amounts in ways a child can understand. For instance, the amount of blood in a baby verses a 10 year old, verses an adult is shown in bottles of red liquid next to a photo of that age person. Stunning photos of developing fetuses, pictures of white blood cells "eating" germs, and much more make this a terrific buy! We need to order ourselves a copy now. I let my kids look at it with me before we mail it to their cousin. We spent a half hour entranced before I realized we better mail it, or it would look like a used book! Buy it. You may want to get two copies!
