Emily ，

“Me and My Amazing Body” did a great job of showing the layers in the human body and how they all connected。 The illustrations and analogies were wonderful。 My favorite part was the fun facts in the back of the book。 Super interesting！

Cathie （ClassyLibrarian） ，

This is a wonderful book to introduce children to their bodies。Great illustrations， good， solid facts that are not overkill。 Easy to understand but does not talk down to the child。Really enjoyed it。

Liz Lowe ，

A good informational book about the human body。

Abbey ，

A great introduction to the human body for nursery children。

Hamza ，

This book was amazing and also I learnd about parts of our body

This is a very good introductory book to the body！ My only quibble is that the way it's laid out， the large photo detailing the organs is putting all the internal organs （stomach， kidneys） on the binding so they're not really clear。Oz enjoyed it and liked learning about bones and skin。 He would recommend this book。 This is a very good introductory book to the body！ My only quibble is that the way it's laid out， the large photo detailing the organs is putting all the internal organs （stomach， kidneys） on the binding so they're not really clear。Oz enjoyed it and liked learning about bones and skin。 He would recommend this book。 。。。more

This book goes through the different body parts and fucntions starting from the outside working in。 This book highlights important parts such as skin， bones， muscles， brain， blood， heart， lungs and stomach and simple functions of each。 It gives great pictures and easy examples for younger kids to easily understand the basic functions。 I liked how at the very end， it had body facts with comparsions， for example， "Your stomach digests about 2，190 quarts of food each year。 That's about 8，760 bowls This book goes through the different body parts and fucntions starting from the outside working in。 This book highlights important parts such as skin， bones， muscles， brain， blood， heart， lungs and stomach and simple functions of each。 It gives great pictures and easy examples for younger kids to easily understand the basic functions。 I liked how at the very end， it had body facts with comparsions， for example， "Your stomach digests about 2，190 quarts of food each year。 That's about 8，760 bowls of spagetti"。 I feel like those types of facts are what kids will find inteeresting and remember。 。。。more

Read Ribbet ，

In one of the four ME concepts books by Sweeney， the main character explores different biological systems in his body。 Illustrations are drawn in a cut away style reveal body parts that lie underneath the skin。 Different systems are discussed separately and illustrations have body parts labeled with technical vocabulary。 Like the other books， the information is presented with limited narrative text and bold graphic illustration making it easily accessible to young readers。

With updated illustrations， this book describes the wonders of the human body--and it really is wonderful and amazing。 The blurb in the front says that a girl discovers how her body works， but in my version， it's a boy， judging from the clothing and body parts on display。 The author makes sure to cover everything from the outside in， discussing the skin， the muscles， and the skeleton as well as the respiratory system and digestive system。 The colorful illustrations add to the appeal of this simp With updated illustrations， this book describes the wonders of the human body--and it really is wonderful and amazing。 The blurb in the front says that a girl discovers how her body works， but in my version， it's a boy， judging from the clothing and body parts on display。 The author makes sure to cover everything from the outside in， discussing the skin， the muscles， and the skeleton as well as the respiratory system and digestive system。 The colorful illustrations add to the appeal of this simple but engaging introduction to the body。 It's easy to follow the text and images， making this book useful for an elementary science classroom。 。。。more

I picked this book for another assignment in this class。 This book is very informational on our bodies。 IT starts out with the basics of our bodies and then goes more in depth。 To learn about our muscles and brain and veins。

Maki ，

Very detailed book which explains how your body works to kids。 Great drawings and details。

This is a story about the human body。 From skin and bones to muscles and blood， this book describes many of the things that contribute to how we function。 I think this would be a great story to use in second or third grade， whenever the students are introduced to human anatomy。 They can read this book then do an activity where they have to create a human body on construction paper and label some of the parts， like legs， arms， heart， and lungs。 There is an example of this towards the end of the s This is a story about the human body。 From skin and bones to muscles and blood， this book describes many of the things that contribute to how we function。 I think this would be a great story to use in second or third grade， whenever the students are introduced to human anatomy。 They can read this book then do an activity where they have to create a human body on construction paper and label some of the parts， like legs， arms， heart， and lungs。 There is an example of this towards the end of the story， as well as some fun facts that kids could find interesting。 。。。more

This book explains basic anatomy in a fun and developmentally appropriate way。 It includes a discussion of internal organs， bones， and the circulatory system。 The illustrations help make the abstract ideas more concrete， although some teacher adaptation might be needed for children with special needs or children with certain fears， as the illustrations are drawn bisections of the human body， which some children may find frightening or confusing。 Topic: Science: anatomy， Self-skills/awareness

This book is an introduction to the human body， geared towards elementary aged students。 It touches all of the main points and questions children have about their bodies regarding bones， muscles， blood circulation， and of course， the heart。 A lot of younger children are aware of their physical features and what is on the outside of their body， but very few understand the processes that go on inside。 This book provides a very basic yet useful introduction to the human body。 This is a book that ca This book is an introduction to the human body， geared towards elementary aged students。 It touches all of the main points and questions children have about their bodies regarding bones， muscles， blood circulation， and of course， the heart。 A lot of younger children are aware of their physical features and what is on the outside of their body， but very few understand the processes that go on inside。 This book provides a very basic yet useful introduction to the human body。 This is a book that can be used for a Science lesson for Kindergarten or First grade students regarding the human body， and is a good introduction to anatomy。 Students are usually really interested in this topic because they feel like they can connect with it in a lot of ways。 。。。more

Love to read this book to my three year old！

Elizabeth Mcdonough ，

This is a great book to introduce the human anatomy to elementary students。 The book answers some important questions such as:What is inside our bodies？ Why do you have bones？ What do our muscles do how do they work？How does our body digest foods that we eat？This book is easy to read and it makes learning about the human body easy to understand。 This book is a great way to incorporate literacy into a science lesson。

A simple introduction to the wonders of the human body for very young children， probably second grade and younger。 It was OK。

Katt Hansen ，

A beginning book that explains the human body in clear and interesting terms。 I liked this one and enjoyed the little message at the end that expressed how unique everyone is too。 That's a real nice touch。 Recommended if you're looking for something to teach your little one a little more about themselves。 A beginning book that explains the human body in clear and interesting terms。 I liked this one and enjoyed the little message at the end that expressed how unique everyone is too。 That's a real nice touch。 Recommended if you're looking for something to teach your little one a little more about themselves。 。。。more

40 months - a simple introduction to the body。 O is very into learning about everything under our skin from the nerves and bones to blood and muscles so this is a nice easy starting book。 We've since moved on to more complex information and detailed illustrations。 40 months - a simple introduction to the body。 O is very into learning about everything under our skin from the nerves and bones to blood and muscles so this is a nice easy starting book。 We've since moved on to more complex information and detailed illustrations。 。。。more

PK-2 This book is 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。

Interest in his own bones made me get this out for my 5 yr old son。

This is a simple book that gets kids aware of their body parts and their individual functions。

So we've decided we're done with birds。 We took a vote and now we're studying the human body。 It must be stated though that the 5-yr-old is terrified of body books。 In fact， I have to hide the ones we own。 I wasn't sure how we were going to handle it。I started by reading this book I found at the library。 It's a very easy， very gentle introduction。 All the major things are talked about （bones， muscles， heart and blood， lungs， blah， blah， blah） but it doesn't go into detail at all。 The pictures sh So we've decided we're done with birds。 We took a vote and now we're studying the human body。 It must be stated though that the 5-yr-old is terrified of body books。 In fact， I have to hide the ones we own。 I wasn't sure how we were going to handle it。I started by reading this book I found at the library。 It's a very easy， very gentle introduction。 All the major things are talked about （bones， muscles， heart and blood， lungs， blah， blah， blah） but it doesn't go into detail at all。 The pictures show what it being talked about， but aren't super intricate。 And the cute little smiling girl is on almost every page。My older boys liked it， but it was definitely below them。 My 5-yr-old said it "was funny， not scary"。 Score！ My almost 3-yr-old was extremely concerned because the girl fell down and cut her knee and needed a band-aid， pronto。 Fortunately the next page showed a band-aid on her knee but he had to continue to talk about it for the rest of the book。An excellent introduction for pre-k through first grade。 Non-threatening with just enough information。 。。。more
