It would be impossible to praise this series too highly. * The Bookseller *
A smart, fun, exciting, interactive introduction to what is arguably the most fascinating topic of scientific study, the human body. The flap panels encourage the reader to participate in the journey into the hidden wonders that our body has to offer, taking them deeper into the functionality and intricate detail of our tissues. With a perfect balance of scientific terminology and simplistic explanations of the various systems in our bodies, the young anatomist will find this book informative and stimulating. It's a superb introduction to the human body! * Dr. Gemma Balmer *
Two that my daughter (nearly five) adores and goes back to again and again are See Inside Your Body by Katie Daynes (£8.99) and The Flip-Flap Body Book (£7.99, both Usborne). The first is fairly detailed, and it covers eating, excreting, bones, muscles and the senses and has lift-up flaps. It's really good for learning about food and what happens to it. You can read out the simpler bits and go into more details as she gets older. If you were to buy just one book for her that would be right for her now and last for a couple more years, this would be my recommendation. The Flip-Flap Body Book covers food and digestion, the sense and how babies are made in a very basic fashion (note: each of these topics is the subject of a separate book that goes into more detail and costs £4.99) but it's very accessible and aimed at young children. * Annalisa Barbieri - The Guardian - Best chilren's books on the human body *
This is a great book for introducing children to the inner workings of the human body. It is especially good for children with why and how questions about what happens in their bodies. The lift flaps are excellent at keeping the books and content interactive and entertaining. * Toppsta Reader Review *
An entertaining book... Parents will learn a thing or two along the way, as well. * Sunday Express *
