Very, very good!, April 24 2006
By Gen - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dk First Human Body Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This book is wonderful. I looked at a TON of human body books for my first grader. It seemed nearly impossible to find one for the 5-8 year old crowd that was factually thorough and had real photographs, but that wasn't too in-depth or too advanced in vocabulary. So many books for this age group are just plain simplistic and cartoony and don't do justice to the amazing machines our bodies are!Since my dd is highly visual, the pictures are important to us and this book slam-dunks in that category (as usual for DK). Every major body system is covered, as well as a few things you might not think to teach a Kinder to 3rd grader, like allergies and non-verbal communication. My dd LOVED the section on the circulatory system and the real-life photos of the components of blood held her interest in a major way.
I highly recommend this for a classical homeschooling family (for first grade) or just for any parent with kids who want to know how their bodies work.

Great book!!!!, Nov 13 2005
By Georgia "Athens Mom of 3" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dk First Human Body Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
I have a very precocious 5 year old who has been reading full sentences since he turned 3 years old. It has been a challenge to keep up with his thirst for knowledge! This book is full of all sorts of interesting facts that even I didn't know (like the fact that a baby's bones contain lots of cartilage, while an adults contain very little), with pictures of x-rays, inside of the esophagus, diagrams of lymphatic system - very detailed.We checked this book out from the library and now Santa will bring one because he has already looked at it for hours and hours . . . great purchase for those looking for a fun and educational book to share with their children.

The Book that made my Daughter want to become a Doctor., May 11 2006
By Laura J. Johnson - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Dk First Human Body Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
My 3+ year old daughter and I checked this out of the library. As soon as we did we had to look and read it numberous times during the day and before bed. She is down right passionate about it.When I had to return it to the library she cried very hard so I bought her a copy for Valentine's day.
Since seeing and reading this wonderful book my daughter is determined to become a doctor. She wants to read as many body books as she possibily can so that's what I have been buying her. I've learned much about the body myself.
I think these DK books are wonderful for kids with all the photographs plus text. They are books that provide information in such a way that as they grow through the years they can learn more and more from the same book.
Listmania!
