Human Body Theater: A Non-Fiction Revue

My 3 and 6 year old love this book so much! It's an educational graphi novel, what's not to love? The pictures are Colorful funny and engaging, the information is so good and even goes into deeper stuff I learned in college but would have loved to know when i was younger. Definitely a book I can reread to my kids every year and they will slowly glean more and more about how their body works. We read it cover to cover 3 times during our kindergarten year of homeschool.

I ordered this book to see if I could use it in my 7th gr. science classroom. Teachers are to encourage "reading across the curriculum" and teens like graphic novels. The book is factually correct, easy to read, great drawings and well written. I am going to order a class set and assign different body systems to read and answer questions. I will create the questions, according to the students' level, and assign them. I may also add "graphic-type" questions, where students may draw what comes next in the scenario. Thank you for making a fun book over the human body systems!

Fantastic book! Using a comic book format, the skeleton MC presents the human body as a Broadway play! My 10 year old granddaughter was an instant fan! This book presents the human body in a fun, engaging way. Even non-readers will enjoy looking at the pictures as you "tell" them the stories. Perfect for any age!

Bought to add to my human body unit. Loved it. Rewriting unit to follow chapter progression, as mine were out of order though logical.

Really well written. My 6 year old enjoys this.

My daughter has always loved learning about the human body and its processes. This book is perfect for her at this stage because she also is into graphic novel-style text. The theme is cute (a skeleton leads a Broadway-style show of acts, each one describing a different system of the body starting with skeletal, going into muscle, digestive, endocrine, etc) Reading it with her at bedtime brings back memories of A&P classes lol. The terminology is accurate, which was surprising and refreshing that they didn't candy-coat anything. I appreciated that the author was able to make the information digestible for a 10 year old while keeping it detailed and scientific.

This book got my seven year old to read about anatomy. The reproductive section does show male and female inner parts in a subdued clinical way - no explanation of sex either just shows egg and sperm getting together to form a baby. I thought it was tasteful, my husband wondered if reproductive anatomy was age appropriate for a 7 year old. However, I read my mom's anatomy nursing books when I could crawl and it did not harm me any - in fact, I got a science degree when I grew up! The more you learn when you are young the easier learning will be in future.

I homeschool my son. I am painfully picky about which science materials I will use to teach him. They must be written with a strong dedication to empirical accuracy. This book hits that mark so far, while also being written in a fun and accessible way that has really captured my son's attention (I read it to him during school time and we discuss it together). Really pleased with this book. He is not always excited to sit down and do school work, so watching his wonderment when he learns about how our bodies work has given me genuine joy. He's almost 8 by the way, but this book can be aged up or down in my opinion. For example, if you want your child to stop and memorize the bones in the hand, you can do that. If they are younger, you can read the main points and not linger on details. Don't forget to use silly voices for the narrating body parts. :)

Le sujet est complexe et ici l'angle est parfait, avec humour un squelette nous explique le fonctionnement de chaque "système" du corps humain. Pour un non médecin et les enfants c'est parfait.

Paketlemesi hızlı teslimatı ve kitabın kusursuz olarak teslim edilmesinden dolayı teşekkür ederim.

The kids enjoy this fun introduction to human biology

My 8-year-old son loves this book so much. He borrowed this book from school and was obsessed this book so much. It provides joyful knowledge about human biology to kids with easy-to-understand information and a ton of lovely pictures. I had to buy this book for him in order to read whenever he want without any concerns about returning to library. I also love the theme about body theater that make kids enthusiastic to read more and not bored.

Una forma divertida de conocer el cuerpo humano. Ya teníamos la edición en español y compramos la edición en inglés como ayuda para la asignatura de Natural Sciences. Imprescindible en primaria y muy útil para secundaria. Todo un acierto
