Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Grade 3-6?Two titles with a slightly different bent. Instead of a straightforward presentation of what exists, Parker poses a series of hypothetical questions such as "What if the Earth were twice as big?" and "What if there were no wind?" In The Human Body, he asks "What if we had no skin?" and "What if people didn't have sex?" Explanations are clear and lively (if perhaps given too many exclamation points). Average-quality cartoon illustrations mirror the texts and provide a touch of humor. Given their scattershot approach, the books are better suited to browsing than for report writing. The "Understanding Science & Nature" series (Time-Life) gives a bit more coverage in these areas.?Susan Chmurynsky, East Kentwood Freshman Campus, MI

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful teaching tool!, November 19, 1999
By A Customer
As a high school health teacher, I am always looking for a quality text to utilize in my classroom. This book is just that. The pictures are clear and free from confusion. The text is concise and easily understood. I recommend this to parents and teachers alike. Even my brother in medical school uses a copy. It is useful for all ages.

5.0 out of 5 stars Visually engaging and effective, November 1, 2009
By Irfan A. Alvi (Towson, MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Human Body (Dk Guide) (Paperback)
Note that there are several books by Richard Walker dealing with the human body, so it's easy to get them mixed up. My review refers to the DK "Guide to the Human Body" with the subtitle "a photographic journey through the human body" (the Amazon image doesn't show this subtitle, but the book is the same).

What differentiates this book from the many other good books on the human body is its large format and abundant use of excellent color photographs, including many microscopic photographs which show details of tissues and cells. The narrative and captions accompanying the photographs are also good, although they just emphasize key points rather than aiming for the systematic and comprehensive approach of a textbook.

I read this book to my daughter when she was 7 years old, explaining things as appropriate, rather than reading the text verbatim (which means that I both added and skipped information). The book was a very effective teaching tool when used this way, with my daughter being quite engaged and managing to learn and retain a lot of detailed information (more than I expected). I imagine that the book would also be useful for older children (and adults) to read on their own.

Highly recommended for teaching children the basics of the human body in a visually engaging way.
