Last night I read Your Body to my five-year-old, and the book totally held my daughter's attention. This small book is geared for young readers (ages 6-8), but it is packed with tons of information that readers of all ages can benefit from. I was reminded of numerous amazing facts. Some examples include how we are born with approximately 300 bones, that we possess about 60 facial muscles, and that 50,000 tiny flakes of skin fall off our bodies every minute. The pictures in Your Body are extremely colorful. Some pictures are actual body shots while others are done in a very fun cartoon format. A glossary of body words is provided as well as websites to visit. We checked out the Usborne Quicklinks Website and recommend it as well.

My 3 year old loved this book, but we lost it. Just bought it again (it's that good) and it's still a favorite. It's a great book for little ones about the inner workings of the body. Not too detailed, not "gross", totally age appropriate and full of fun facts.

Usborne publishes some of the most comprehensive and beautiful non-fiction books for kids. We have an entire set of them, we give them as gifts and donate them to schools. There are really no better books for the money.

My youngest daughter has just started homeschooling and because her older sister is in high school just starting to learn anatomy and I am a massage therapist myself, and she spends most of her day at my office she has an incredible interest in anatomy. This book is a great way to get her started, easy to understand and kept her interested.
