Summary: Very good, but Scholastic made a bad call...
Review: As mentioned by a reviewer below, the book would have been better served with "private parts" not covered up by clothes. Sadly, this "covering up" only appears in the English version - the original French edition had all the anatomy uncovered by clothing.
Scholastic made the decision to censor the various "private parts" when they brought out this English edition. And that's a shame. The book is weaker and not nearly as informative as a result. Perols artwork is fantastic and the book is well-presented, but it's a shame such an editorial decision was made.

Summary: Amazing!
Review: My four-year-old son and I are BIG fans of the First Discovery Book series. The transparent pages in these introductory non-fiction books add something amazingly different to our large library of story books. After buying a handful of these books for my son, I gave him the option to choose our next purchase. He chose "The Human Body." He is at a very curious age, and this book helped me answer many of the questions he had about the workings of his body.

Summary: Good book...but why so small??
Review: My grandson enjoyed this book I had sent to him, but his mother and I were disappointed that the book was so small. I expected it to be bigger so that small children could look at bigger pictures. Bigger overlays on bigger pages would have a much better impact on young minds.

Summary: Wonderful! My boys love it!
Review: My sons are 2 and 4 and this is one of their favorite books. It discusses so much that is mysterious to kids, and in an entertaining way. One of their favorite parts is the see-through page section. This section illustrates many body systems: the muscles, the nervous system, the circulatory system. The reproductive organs may not be shown, but how babies are conceived is handled in a very thoughtful way. My boys love to talk about how they were once inside of me!

Summary: Simply great!!
Review: This book has been read over and over (and over!) by my 2 1/2 year old. It is an exceptional introduction to the human body. Most fascinating is the "see-through" section that shows front and back views of different sections of the body such as the skeletal, muscular, and circulatory systems, and every major organ. Very clever! Importantly, the figure depicted in the book is that of a small female child - kids can easily identify with this image! It provides technical/scientific information in a very user-friendly manner. I can't wait to get other books in the series. Highly recommended.

Summary: The Human Body-uncovered
Review: This is a nice book for kids about the body but I was disappointed that they chose to not include the "private parts". Children need to know about them too! To cover them with clothes and not discuss them is a BIG omission.
