Look Inside What Happens When You Eat

I love this book. I am trying to help my kids recognize there aren't necessarily good and bad foods they are just different. This book talks about what different things, proteins, carbs, sugar etc... do in your body and why they are important to have as a good well balanced diet.

I bought this for my 9 yr old nephew who is in the hospital. I wanted to show him how important it is to eat good food and we really enjoyed reading it. It wasn't babyish and even the nurses like it.

When this book arrived, I perused it by myself and I thought 'there is waaaay to much information here for a kid -they will not want to listen. But when I went to babysit a 10 yo, 8yo and a 5yo, they were all drawn to it... the youngest immediately asked if I would read it to him as the older two pretended not to listen but couldn't help themselves to add enthusiastic comments here and there as I read. They didn't all stick around, and we did not read it all in one setting -like a said, a lot of information - but the 5 yo kept coming back to the book asking me to read it more throughout the day. Although the 5 yo obviously did not retain all of the information, he started asking more questions about the body and asked it there was one like this about the body. Now I am going to purchase the "look inside your body" book by the same author so I can read it to him as well. I think the flaps help keep the interest the most - when you flip one over, what's underneath usually correlates the picture before the flip and changes it somehow. The illustrations are so elaborate, I think that is what really drew the 5 yo. I'm excited to see the 'inside your body' book. Oh- that being said I would not let a child just look at this book on their own; the flap are fairly sturdy but there are way too many and ripping/tearing potential is great.

So many openings and pages in this cute little book. Kids love info, so they just absorbed this.

8 yr old granddaughter lived this book. It makes learning about nutrition and how what you eat affects your body interesting to a child.

Love this book so much and what’s better is my kids love it too

Illistrations are great. Easy to read to explain with kids.

I love these types of books as do my daughters. I love the concepts and things being taught. Unfortunately on most pages when separating the tabs, a lot of the glue and flaps ripped right off.

Very well researched and written so young children can understand

We bought this in September 2024 for our daughter, who was in grade 3 at the time, and it’s been a wonderful addition to her learning. She loves the lift-the-flap format and the playful illustrations—it makes learning about digestion feel fun and approachable. The explanations are clear and age-appropriate, and the visuals help her understand how the body works in a way that sticks. She used it during our science lessons last year, and it’s held up well over time. It helped her understand the digestive system with curiosity and delight, and we’ve had no complaints. We felt the price was fair for the quality and engagement it provides. Highly recommend for homeschool families looking for engaging learning tools that make science come alive. — Reviewed by Hibiscus, homeschooling mom rooted in presence Simple, honest, presence-based reviews.

My luv really loved the book . Really kept her engaged for a long time.

This is a great book. My children love lifting the flaps and reading the information. It is a great book for children to understand what they eat and what happens inside our bodies when we eat.
