Review:

Doesn’t it make sense that the skin covering our bodies is the largest body part? It can weigh up to eight or nine pounds and keeps our blood, water, muscles, tissues and nerves inside our body’s protecting them from germs. Babies are born with 300 bones but once an adult there will only be 206. Do you know why? If not, you can learn all about it with this handy guide about the human body.

What would you like to know about your body? Did you know the heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood per day? Did you know that the body makes about six cups of spit per day? It helps with taste, swallowing and even talking. Not only will readers learn about the human body and all of its organs but also about nutrition and the foods we eat. Cool fun fact snippets can be found through this guide for quick easy learning.

This handy tool and really cool box for storage holds a guidebook, poster, human skeleton model, reusable stickers and fun fact cards that provide definitions for vitamins, brain, ligaments, veins and more. Parents, teachers and students will be engaged with the information and interactive contents. The guidebook has a quiz and more resources to test readers knowledge.
