First of all, the book is way smaller than I expected. I am not familiar with the series (My First Discoveries) and I did not pay attention to the description that states that the book size is 6.5 x 7 inches. For such a book it would be better to have a regular or big size.The idea of transparent pages with different body systems is absolutely wonderful. However, the reproductive system is missing! What kind of an odd mind would picture boys and girls genitals and leave out reproductive system? Hey, it is not like poof! and reproductive system appears out of nowhere at puberty!Also, a fetus is pictured in some kind of sphere in vacuum. Seriously? Nowadays at the age recommended (3-5 years) children already know that babies are not brought by storks, but grow in a woman belly. Authors (or editors, whoever made the decision on leaving those facts out) should get over their prudishness.So I would recommend this book ONLY as an additional material to complete anatomy book.
My 3.5 yr old son keeps asking about anatomy. He's interested in hearing about his veins, muscles and bones. And he wants to see pictures. I wish the book was longer and a little more in depth. But for a 3.5 yr old this is the perfect start. I love that it's a board book with overlays. It's just too cool!
This is a very nice book. My oldest granddaughter was asking a lot of questions about the body and how the bones etc. all work and are put together. I ordered this and a few other books on the subject and she love them.
My almost 3 year old absolutely loves this book. He's had a fascination with the body from an early age and loves the detail and explanation in this book. Totally age appropriate for 2.5-5 and serves as a great intro into the body.
A great book about the human body for children. It has transparency pages to turn so they can see muscles, skeleton, veins and arteries, etc. They enjoy turning the pages. Received promptly and in good condition.
i got this book to introduce my daughter (3.5 y/o) to more serious/ scientific books. she doesn't yet understand the whole concept but she surely enjoyed looking at the pictures.
