This book details what the bones in your body look like and their functions. Colorful pictures are helpful and entertaining. This book also mentions a broken arm. Fun reading if your child is in a cast.

I bought this book at a Scholastic book fair my elementary school put on in the early 90s. The book remains one of my treasured favorites (16 years later). In fact, I found myself quoting it just the other day ("Without bones, you'd be floppy as a bean bag"). It's fun to read, extremely informative about what goes on inside your body, and it has information that sticks with you forever (I haven't read the book in over 10 years, but I still know that we have 206 bones thanks to it). I can't recommend it enough. I plan to buy it for my kids when I have some.

My son is very interested in science, and how his body works; so this book was a great choice for him. He really likes it! The book explains is simple but real detail about our bones, and how they work with our muscles and brains to make our body move. Interesting book, my son enjoys it.

I love how this series of books gives lots of information in a format my kids have enjoyed reading over and over again. This one was a real favorite for all 4 of my kids. Better than learning about science in a dull textbook that's for sure!

I bought this book along with others from the "Let's Read and Find Out Science" series.

I find this particular book to be very helpful in explaining to my 5 year old son how our bodies work. It goes into just enough detail to satisfy his curious mind. The drawings are cute and help him follow along when hearing new words for the first time (like ligaments, etc).

I love all the books from this series. I find them to be just the perfect length to give a little science lesson, but not too long that my son loses interest.

When my 3 year old fell down today and say "Mama...see, I didn't fall apart because I have bones..." I realized he has learned a lot from this book! I think though it may be geared toward children in the 4 plus age, you can ad lib however you want so that they learn but don't get too lost with technicalities of bone marrow, etc...which can be explained in more detail later. Anyhow, definitely recommend.

I bought this book for my nephew. He loves it! It gives enough information that the child learns new things but not so much that he can't understand. He's four and he's asking lots of questions. We've actually purchased a number of books from the "Let's read and find out Science 2" series and they all provide lots of information. His mom says that she even learns new things from them.

A great value and an asset to any child's library.

There are a lot of these little books and they all are very well done. Our kids love the idea of getting to know about SCIENCE. The 7th grade teachers I work with even use it with their kids in Science class. Try From Tadpole to Frog (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 1).

As I am adding product links I see that Amazon has over 600 titles in this series listed

Bought this for my 4 year old daughter after buying the Skeleton Floor Puzzle. She already understood body parts so it was very helpful. The book has wonderful illustrations and great scenarios and is easy to read.

Ordering on line was a wonderful experience. The quality of the book I purchased was amazing!
Thanks!
