My 7-year-old son is very inquisitive, so I bought this for him and he loves it. He has read it a few times over now. He enjoys teaching his father and me about things he has learned from the book. My favorite part of the book is that it uses technical terms for body parts which helps a child learn in a healthy and non-judgemental environment. My favorite is when he came to me with the book and had me explain how he fit in my uterus and how in the world did the doctors take him out with his big head. He was very serious and concerned that it had to of hurt me. A close second was when he came to me very seriously, and described in detail while pointing to the pictures, how gas occurred and what paths it could take to exit the body (which is a huge accomplishment for a 7 year-old boy)

This book has started my son on a path of learning about all of the things that make little boys giggle and how somethings are natural and occur in everyone. It also has given him a starting place to ask questions and gain useful information about how to look at and treat his body in a positive manner.

This books is a real winner with my 19 month old. She loves the pictures and has learned so many new words. As she grows up the book will grow with her, as it has great basic anatomy knowledge.

My six-year-old son loves this book. It is so exciting that he can barely wait for me to read the texts before he starts asking questions about the pictures.

This is a fun book to read to a kid. I'd say age 5-10 would be the appropriate age range.

I am very glad that I purchased this book. I am taking an intro. level Biology class and this book was perfect for it. This book is well-rounded. It conists of a basic overview of Biology. The most important component of this book is that it has A LOT of pictures (which is vital for one studying the anatomy).

Out of all the body books I purchased, I thought this one was the most informational for my children. Definitely worth the money!!

I was looking for a book about the human body that would work for a 4 year old who has a strong interest in the topic. This book fit the bill, and there is something for a range of youngsters here. The text is a bit over his head, but he loved that it has actual photographs instead of drawings. The writing is straightforward and the illustrations are up to date.

My five-year-old son has had this book for over a year now and he still loves it. He is fascinated by the pictures and always asks lots of questions while we're reading it. Rarely do we read it from beginning to end. It's more of a reference book that he turns to again and again whenever he has questions about how his body works.

We've been very pleased with the DK Eye Wonder series of books (we own four) and will continue to add more to our library.

This book is a great presentation of the human body. I purchased it as a gift for one of my students in High School, he loved it. It has enough detail for anyone to inquire more and the systems are separated and presented sequentially. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to create a sense of wonder at the beauty of the human body.

This is a very informative book. It has large clear illustrations of everything in the body. It is a gift for my very smart 7 year old grandson.

I received this as a present when I was about ten years old and it was one of my favorite books. I rediscovered it packed away in the closet recently and I've been using it for reference for my paramedic anatomy class. It isn't an in-depth anatomy class so the pictures in this book have been a nice supplement when I am studying. The pictures are large, realistic and have the right amount of detail. But I digress, this is a great book for kids or anyone who is interested in anatomy and the medical field! Who knows, maybe giving this book to your child will spark his or her interest in a future career.
