Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal
Grade 3-5-In his instantly recognizable style, Simon addresses the anatomy and function of bones and muscles. Describing bones as being like "the framework of a building," he emphasizes that they are living parts of the body, protecting organs and manufacturing blood cells and platelets. Explanations of joints, fractures, and arthritis are also included. In Muscles, the three kinds of muscle and their functions are discussed. In addition, the effect of exercise and diagnosing injuries are covered. In both books, the full-paged illustrations are great and include full-color photographs, MRI scans, X rays, and excellent drawings. Two more outstanding additions to Simon's resume.

5.0 out of 5 stars A teacher says..., October 3, 2000
By T. Calhoun (Deatsville, AL USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As usual, Seymour Simon does some great work on showing children (and some teachers) the ins and outs of the human body. The easy to understand language and great photos make this a science teacher's must have!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Skeletal System, November 27, 2004
Seymour Simon provides us with more insight into the body's systems. I learned a lot from reading this book on bones and I highly recommend it for fourth graders on up. A student can learn a lot more from this book than a paragraph in a textbook. Have fun and enjoy.
