First Encyclopedia of the Human Body (Usborne First Encyclopedias): 1

This book - is - fantastic. As a student for advanced clinical nutrition and various other health studies (as an adult!) I NEEDED something SIMPLISTIC. THIS IS IT! It's VERY well done, GORGEOUS images/photos - examples. VERY clear and simple explanations. It's exactly what I needed to support my studies. When you have 'adult' courses (text books) I feel they tend to be over done with too much information (beyond what I need in order to even just grasp certain ideas or concepts) - with this book, it helps to substantiate my endeavours. FOR KIDS - I can see this being a fantastic introduction to the human body. VERY clear explanations (even I can get them!! LOL) But overall - if I could give this ten stars I would!! Highly recommended for youths and adults!! Great book!!

This book is perfect for an inquisitive little one. I read and re-read a different section every night to my 4.5 yr old. There are plenty of illustrations on each page as well as close up images from under a microscope. There are also several little easy experiments your child can do to help understand how taste buds work or why we need joints for example. My son has remembered quite a lot about the body, I think this is because the book is broken down into clear sections for each subject. There are approx 2 pages for each subject i.e. muscles/ bones etc...The other day my son explained to my husband that his nose is made of cartilage!

This book is a good value for its money. It contains lots of information presented in good, child-friendly language, and it's amazing how many details are covered in those 64 pages. Of course my child keeps asking more and more questions and I have to use the internet to answer all that, but the book serves as a great base for the first questions that pop-up in a child's mind. The pictures are great too - we especially liked the picture of a white cell devouring a "bad" germ. I would recommend this book as an introductory guidance for children up to 10 years old.

Really good introduction.Grandson is fascinated but not quite grasped that pictures are not life sized! EG taste buds.Working on that

Our six year old grandson was very pleased with his present. The book explains the body in a way that he can understand.

This has become an absolute hit in our home. So far every child who visited and saw the book loved it too- and you can learn quite a bit as an adult too! The pictures are very detailed and the text has just the right length for a child in Year 1. Would recommend it from 6 onwards. We also have the Children's encyclopedia from Usborne and although the pics look similar the body is covered in much more detail here. For us it is still worthwhile buying this series as well as they go more into depth than the encyclopedia.

Exactly what I was looking for. Granddaughter is interested in the human body

I bought this book for my nearly 8 year old to support home learning. She really enjoyed this introduction to human body and how it works. The chapters are right length, not too complex and can be additionally supported by videos on YouTube. I do recommend as first book about human body.

The book came mint, and we love it already! The illustrations are colorful, and will capture the attention of your child whether you home school them, or just want to teach them! It has a lot more information about the body than I expected like eyes, teeth, muscles, stomach, etc. It has at least a page dedicated to each thing, but it's not too much for a young child about age 4-7. My daughters are very excited to dive in, so am I!

Perfect for children curious about the human body and all its many functions. Great pictures and interesting additional facts provided.

Se ha adquirido para la asignatura de Science y la verdad es que el material es muy bueno además de muy ilustrativo. Perfectamente adaptado a la edad de primaria a partir de los 6 años.

This is a hard cover book with 64 pages measuring 28cmX22cmX1cm. The content is organized in 58 sections such as Inside you body , Your brain and nerves ,Seeing , Hearing , Touch and so on. Each section is two pages ,one on left side and the other on right side. The pages are very colorful containing big nice color photos and diagrams and brief child friendly language. My kids loved this book.

Great book for children. Really clear and easy to understand. After reading that book you know what's going on in your body in every day moments.
