More About the Author
Patricia J. Wynne's art has appeared in galleries, magazines, newspapers and more than 100 books for both children and adults. She has been publishing since she was eight years old, when her story about an old arrowhead found in her backyard appeared in an airline newspaper. She did her graduate work in printmaking at the University of Iowa, and attended the Iowa Writers Workshop at the same time. After teaching art and art history at the University of Windsor and Wayne State University, initiating a gallery career and working as the staff artist for the Museum of Zoology at the University of Michigan, Wynne moved to New York City and began freelancing. Her first book--an ABC board book edited by Ole Risom--was published by Random House. Other books quickly followed, including a Library of Knowledge series with Random House and Star Wars books illustrated in close collaboration with George Lucas. Wynne has published with more than 20 houses--including McGraw Hill and Simon and Schuster--creating books on everything from science to fables. Her editorial art has appeared in publications such as the New York Times, Food and Wine, Cricket and Scientific American and her illustrations and expertise are consistently sought by researchers at the American Museum of Natural History, most recently for Dark Banquet: The Curious Lives of Blood Feeding Creatures. Her books have won many awards, including honors from Parenting Magazine, the John Burroughs Association, the National Science Teachers Association and in 2008 Wynne received a Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor. Wynne's research has taken her all over the world and to such settings as artificial heart labs and the heart of the rainforest. Wynne continues to work as a freelance artist, telling stories about what she loves: the natural world, discovery of all kinds and the faraway realms of the mind's eye.

3.0 out of 5 stars
This book is so much fun!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Body Book (Grades 3-6) (Paperback)
My four daughters and I have had so much fun making these models. I've recommended it to several friends and they've also loved it. The Body Book makes basic anatomy more understandable for those who are hands-on learners. The text also includes information about each part of the body studied. All of the student pages are reproducible. I copied ours onto ordinary 24 lb. copy paper which worked okay. But I would recommend using cardstock for at least the skeleton portion of the model if you want it to hold up long term.

Great for homeschoolers!,
By Melody Griffin (Illinois) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Body Book (Grades 3-6) (Paperback)
If you have been frustrated using a text book to teach your children anatomy, you've got to try this book! It gets the kids involved instead of just reading big words out of a book. I have 13,12, and 8 year old boys, and they all enjoy the making of the models. I highly recommend this book.
