5.0 out of 5 starsVisually engaging and effective
By Irfan A. Alvi VINE VOICE on November 1, 2009
Format: 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.

5.0 out of 5 starsGood information
By Kathy Westerman on December 24, 2013
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I gave this to my 7 year old grandson with a Human Body model. I'd checked out 3 or 4 books on the body from the library and this one had the best information appropriate for a lower elementary student.

4.0 out of 5 starsGood, could have been better
By Jay H. Colborn on March 28, 2010
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
I got this for my grand-children. It was the best I could find on Amazon for 8-11 year old kids. No complaints, but it could have been better in covering basic functions such as digestion. Digestion is the perfect place to start when educating kids about their bodies.

5.0 out of 5 starsGreat bargin!
By Amazon Customer on July 17, 2012
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The book was everything I hoped it would be. It is compact full of educational facts that fascinate readers. It has proven to be a fun way to encourage kids to learn about the human body. It is a clever way to "trick" kids into learning because they enjoy what they are reading. The pictures are also amazing and the kids love to learn about each one.
