Children’s Book Review: Human Body Q&A

The mechanics of the human body are explored, and in depth, in this colorful and fascinating book.  Starting at the basic parts that comprise the human anatomy, the book winds its way through how we fuel our bodies, our brainpower, pumping blood and the life story.

Each section is full of great photographs and illustrations, and the question/answer format that DK excels in using is how the information is presented to the reader.

The questions asked and answered are appropriate for the age group, simple enough for ages 8 and up to understand yet still entertain them as well. The questions asked are ones that are interesting enough that kids want to know, such as How much blood do I have? and Can loud noise damage my ears? Yes children, your mothers ARE right, activities such as listening to your headphones too loudly DOES lead to damage!
