I bought this for my daughter who is in kindergarten and loves science. We read a chapter every night and she loves it. It is educational for her, and we learn a lot, too. One warning, though. There is a chapter on reproduction. It doesn't get too specific but it did prompt A LOT of questions from my daughter. "But how do the sperm get to the egg?" So, be prepared! All in all, a great, informative book that she can continue learning from for many years.
Bright and colorful first comes to mind when I opened this encyclopedia of the human body. It's very well laid out and touches on just about every topic a small child would need to know. The pages are large and the paper is thick. This is no magazine. My children loved the book and I even learned a few things. The book has a feature called "Internet-Linked". How does an Internet-Linked book work? Usborne Internet-Linked books serve as a gateway to knowledge for fact-hungry children. Visit the website listed in the front of the book and enter the book and page number you are interested in learning more about. This site will provide you web addresses of safe, content appropriate websites you can visit to research a subject in a fun and informative way. I was quite impressed on the chapter about babies in the womb - they actually called them babies. You may not realize that but in today's PC world that is very rare. Each chapter is two pages long but covers quite a bit. The index was a surprise on a children's book. Make sure you click on 's picture above and take a look inside the book. I think you'll be very pleased with this book.
My three year old has shown an interest in bones so I found this book. I am so glad I did, it's a wonderful books. It covers many topics, has great photos, detailed illustrations, tons of information presented in a kid-friendly manner. Plus it provides lots of links to internet sites to find even more information. It has a great format and is enjoyed by my son a lot.
We homeschool our three children and this is one of the books we are using for science for our 3rd grade twins. In addition to the beautiful pictures, I love that there are links on the website to print the diagrams. To help my kids process the information, I print up the pictures, as well as typing out the supporting information. When I type it out, I leave out some main words and the kids fill in the blanks. We then cut out the pictures and the blurbs of information and glue them onto 3-hole punched paper. I often omit the same word from several of the blurbs and these words also become spelling words. The repetition is useful both for science and writing.The Rock-n-Learn Human Body DVD is a GREAT supplement to this book!! Between the two, the information practically teaches itself!
I purchased this when my now 6 yr old was 3. In the 3 years that we have owned it, (and we have TONS of books), this is the most beat-up and dog-eared book. Both my children love it. It is very informative without being too overwhelming. The illustrations make it all very understandable. It's one of those books that you can sit down and just focus on one page..or thumb through the whole thing. Because of this book, both my kids have a much better understanding of the human body than most other children their age. (Their grandfather, a surgeon, loves this!). Usborne books are really fabulous
We bought this for my son when he was asking lots of questions about my daughter's surgeries on her bladder and ureters. He likes it and he learns a lot. It does seem as though they purposefully left out Male and female differences, and that's disappointing. Those convos need to start young and kids need to know the correct terms for their body parts. That is one place this book fell short, otherwise I am quite happy with it.
This book is excellent. I bought this for my 5 year old, although my 3 year old totes it around everywhere with her as well. I have considered getting a second copy. This book is interesting and well illustrated. Although above my kids heads at this age, they still are very interested in hearing about how the body works, and what certain things are. Its definitely a good refresher for parents too :)
THis book is very comprehensive, although not quite age appropriate for first grade... at least not as a teacher. I am not ready to answer questions about some of the content in this book. It is quite detailed. I have taught 3rd and 4th grades also. I am not really certain I would want to bring those topics up at school with 8-10 year olds, either. Most definitely a wonderful resource. The pictures and diagrams are beautiful! Most definitely great for home use for teaching your own children!
