I have two girls a three year old and a one year old. The oldest has just become familiar with the fact that boys and girls are different. This book is great at teaching about the differences and similarities between boys and girls in a very basic, but informative (for a three year old) way. It also teaches about the different organs, senses, muscles, and bones in our bodies. It was perfect for me to introduce my kids to their bodies!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and have purchased it twice, actually.

The first time was about 4 years ago, when I bought it for my (then) 4-year old son. It makes talking about human anatomy a breeze, especially for those of us who were never taught the 'real' names for our body parts until we were over age 10. I bought it again just a few months ago, for my boyfriend's 6-year old daughter. She got as much out of it as did my son.

It is simply written and very clearly illustrated! The format lends itself to learning at your child's pace ... one page at a time, or even in smaller chunks. I think this book is a must for every household with little ones.

I didn't realize this book had more to do with private parts than the actual human body. I thought I was getting all of the various body systems, so I thought the content was too advanced for a kindergartener. I will save this book for when she is a little older.

I just sat down and read this to my 4 year old daughter. She was very into it. I think it's a great balance to introducing some new things she doesn't know with things she already does know. She wanted to flip through it after we finished.

I recommend it.

This book is good because it divides the body up into systems -- the digestive system, the respiratory system, etc. But it's frustrating because the illustrations are a little bit too cartoonish. I can see also that it tries to illustrate that it's depicting separate systems in the body, but you never see how they all fit together. I guess I'm not sorry that I bought it to help my four-year-old understand the basics of how the body works, but it was only really useful in conjunction with other books of the same subject.
