This book is a great introduction to simple human anatomy that will be easily understood and enjoyed by preschool and primary school age children. Includes helpful, cartoon-like illustrations. It is full of information and also fun to read.

My boys, ages 7 and 5, love this book. The illustrations are wonderful, and the text is easy to understand. It is educational while still keeping their interest. The text is accurate, but simple enough that my seven year old can sit and read this to his little brother without any problems. To the reviewer who complained about the reference to Halloween: yes, it does have one page that mentions Halloween, but in no way does it advocate it or state any opinions on the merit of Halloween - it simply states the fact that some people think skulls look scary and wear skull masks on Halloween. That's it. You can't shelter your children from the reality that there is Halloween and many people do celebrate it. Even if you don't celebrate it, there is nothing in this book that should keep you from purchasing it for your children.

This is a good book to start introducing bones of the body. There is only one page about Halloween and it said very little, so don't base your opinion on that. It talks about how we would look if we didn't have bones and how our skeletons match our body size and shape. Great book.

My daughter is crazy about learning about bones! She is 7 and loves to read this book.

Bones (Step-Into-Reading, Step 2)

My boy is 4 and loves to learn. I started buying more educational books for him in the learning to read type books because they are simplified. Level 1 might be too simple but 2 and 3 are reliably in his range of understanding and sometimes level 4 is too. Although some level 4 have too much information or are too complex for a 4 year old. It depends on the topic and maybe on which brand of early reader it is.

All brands of early readers give small bites of information with illustrations. This makes them easy to absorbed.

This book is a good introduction to the human body bones. It is just basic info but it makes some good points and has decent pictures to go with it. If there was a version with a little more scientific information he might be ready for that but I have yet to find one. Other books on the human body have way too much information and are too complex.

I recommend this as a starter for young children.

This is a great body book for any kid to read. Simple terms and illustrations make it a favorite in our household.

This is a book that we bought for our school library to replace the one my daughter left outside in the rain. It was in excellent condition, and the book was much cheaper even with the shipping than it would have been bought from the school.

I decide to buy this book because I was looking for science books and books that could help my daughter learn about the human body. The book is absolutely great with the exception of one of the pages of the book. Sadly, there is one page in which the books say something about Halloween. In my case I don't celebrate Halloween and I always avoid anything that has to do with it. Unfortunately there is not way to know about the content of the book until you get it. I bought the book because I had not idea that there was something about Halloween in it and I want to alert other people so they don't make the same mistake I did.
