Review

This book makes children excited to learn about their senses.  It both poses questions and provides information about the senses.  The pictures and poems are cute!  Some of the language may be too elevated for younger children to understand, but this may be a good thing as it invites children to learn new words and to ask more questions.

Review


This book is about the bones in the human body.  As an anthropology minor, I think that this is really cool!  This book has many long paragraphs that I am not sure if small kids would be enthusiastic about reading.  The pictures are very fun and the educational value is great!

Review


I think this book is written too scholarly for a child.  I do not think a child would love this book as much as other books.  I loved the illustrations though!
