5.0 out of 5 stars A great, enjoyable teaching tool for all ages., June 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Start Exploring Gray's Anatomy: A Fact-Filled Coloring Book (Paperback)

I teach children ages 11-16. Some are special education students and others are gifted. I wanted a life science curriculum that would be highly motivational, easy to understand and would teach the real names and concepts. I, myself, do not have a strong scienc background. i knew I would be learning along with my students. Truth is, I purchased three anatomy coloring books, but only this one did the trick. It appeals to the kids, has clearer drawings and more simplified text with catchy sub-headings than the other texts I tried. It is also geared for real learning and introduces concepts as well as vocabulary about human anatomy. I highly recommend this text for beginners. It can be used as independent work or even, just-for-fun, free-time work in the classroom or at home.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great reinforcer of previously learned lessons..., September 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: START EXPLORING(tm) Gray's Anatomy - A Fact-Filled Coloring Book (Paperback)

I was advised by a homeschooling guide to buy this book for my science classes some time ago. I am pleased to say that I did not regret the decision I made to purchase it, as this is an excellent book! At first, I was surprised that a coloring book would be recommended as an educational tool for a first year high school student, but it was actually very helpful to me. Once I was finished completing it, I was delighted to see how vivid and realistic the illustrations became. So delighted that I bought a copy for my younger siblings to try (aged 7-10). Unfortunately they found it a little too daunting, so I'd have to say that it's not the best book for a ten year old or younger. However, if you're looking for a challenging, educational book for a student aged eleven or up, then you should try this one. You might even find yourself picking up a marker and coloring with him.

This book help me to understand anatomy and physiology like I was a three year old and learning like it was easy as drinking water.It Is a very good book to have as a reference in the future. It also help me to get back into the swing of things since I spent the last 6 years in the Army doing a job that had nothing to do with my Degree field which is sports medicine.
