Book Reviews of Me and My Amazing Body

Book Review: Best book for little kids
Summary: 4 Stars

My almost 3 year old has lately taken an interest in dinosaurs, and therefore bones. She is constantly asking about the bones inside her, so I've been looking everywhere for a very simple introduction to what's inside the human body. I've been to several bookstores and the library, and everything extremely advanced. Close up photographs of neurons are beautiful, but would be completely meaningless for a child her age.

This book is the very best one I found for young children. It's very simple, told in a story format by a little girl. There is a two page spread for skin, bones, muscles, brain, blood, heart, lungs, and stomach. Each spread has an illustration of the girl doing something related to the subject, and a little cross-section of the girl showing whatever is being discussed.

My one complaint is that I really dislike the illustrations. She looks like someone is drawing a political cartoon of a middle aged secretary.

Summary of Me and My Amazing Body

Easy to read and easy to understand, Me and My Amazing Body helps children appreciate everything their amazing bodies can do.
