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 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. :)

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

Seriously....it doesn't get much better than this book. My daughters are 3 and 4 years old and I am currently in nursing school. This is an incredible look into how our bodies work without being so dumbed down that it's silly or so complex that you have trouble following. I don't always read it word-for-word when we sit down to look it over, but the illustrations are magnificent and really hit the ideas home. My older daughter definitely understands certain concepts well beyond her age, like the fact that there are good germs and bad. She realizes that sometimes our bodies react or over-react to things it thinks are bad and some people have allergies! She is definitely my little study buddy! I love that I can foster her interest in science and biology with things like this. I would have loved to have had this as a kid!!! One of my favorite little gems is that the skeleton that brings us on the journey is shown to be female at the end! My daughter got a real kick out of that and it really opened doors to talking about how we're all the same on the inside!

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!

Really well written. My 6 year old enjoys this.

I received this book yesterday and my son promptly took this, sat in his room and read it for several hours! He seems to really enjoy it! I haven’t really gotten the chance to look at it yet but it is very detailed in drawings and descriptive with explanations from what I have seen. The ONLY reason I didn’t give 5 stars was because we found a total of 4 pages stuck together (not cut right from the printer). I am including pictures of what I mean. My son accidentally tore the first one because he thought they were truly stuck and not just ‘not cut’. Totally fixable using scissors. Also- select the hardcover book! It ended up cheaper. ;)

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.

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
