This book explains about how the human body deals with reflexes. It gets a little technical, but a four or five year old can definately understand the content. I enjoyed reading this book to my children because even I learned a little that I either had not learned or had forgotten.

My 6 yr old son prefers nonfiction books and it can be tough to find them on his level. He loves all the books from this series.

I received the book on time and it is appropriate for my daughter who is three and very much into science and skeletons.

Although it was a bit long to hold attention (mostly the other adults in the room) the kids seemed to get a lot out of it, asking questions and remembering when they had been in a similar situation as the person in the throws of the problem. Kids and adults learned from it in our house.

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!

We read this book with our 3 year old and our 7 year old. They both like it. Neither is overly interested in science but this book does a good job relating to children, educating and yet keeping it interesting. They like to shout out "reflex" anytime someone has a reflex (sneeze, yawn, etc.) for a couple of days after reading the book. Well worth it and fun for parents too.

I ordered this book for my sons 6th birthday. He is very interested in science and this looked like a fun book. We have read it through once and he enjoyed it, don't know how well it will be at repeat performances.

Even if your youngster hasn't asked, this book helps the "thinking" process of asking "why". When this question is asked about things that they can understand, it begins the process of asking why about lots of other things.

Great for those who also ask why on their own.
