The Body Book

This brilliant introduction to the human body shows readers how our bodies have groups of organs (or ‘systems’) that all work together to keep us eating and breathing – like the different parts of a machine. There’s the muscular system, skeletal system, digestive system, and more. Did you know, for example, that your teeth are actually part of your skeletal system?

What makes this book especially fun and innovative is that each system is illustrated on a see-through ‘magic’ section of the page that enables readers to see in detail not just the different ‘systems’ but to also see the layers of the different parts of the body as they turn the pages and go through the book.

There’s enough detail to make it interesting and plenty to learn, but not so much that it becomes overwhelming, while the immersive nature of the special pages offers a clever and unique way of both experiencing a book and looking at how the body works.

Includes a page on staying healthy, as well as page about how we may look different on the outside or sometimes need a bit of extra help like hearing aids or mobility aids.
