Human Body Theater: A Non-Fiction Revue

Really well written. My 6 year old enjoys this.

I ordered this book to see if I could use it in my 7th gr. science classroom. Teachers are to encourage "reading across the curriculum" and teens like graphic novels. The book is factually correct, easy to read, great drawings and well written. I am going to order a class set and assign different body systems to read and answer questions. I will create the questions, according to the students' level, and assign them. I may also add "graphic-type" questions, where students may draw what comes next in the scenario. Thank you for making a fun book over the human body systems!

Fantastic book! Using a comic book format, the skeleton MC presents the human body as a Broadway play! My 10 year old granddaughter was an instant fan! This book presents the human body in a fun, engaging way. Even non-readers will enjoy looking at the pictures as you "tell" them the stories. Perfect for any age!

Seriously....it doesn't get much better than this book. My daughters are 3 and 4 years old and I am currently in nursing school. This is an incredible look into how our bodies work without being so dumbed down that it's silly or so complex that you have trouble following. I don't always read it word-for-word when we sit down to look it over, but the illustrations are magnificent and really hit the ideas home. My older daughter definitely understands certain concepts well beyond her age, like the fact that there are good germs and bad. She realizes that sometimes our bodies react or over-react to things it thinks are bad and some people have allergies! She is definitely my little study buddy! I love that I can foster her interest in science and biology with things like this. I would have loved to have had this as a kid!!! One of my favorite little gems is that the skeleton that brings us on the journey is shown to be female at the end! My daughter got a real kick out of that and it really opened doors to talking about how we're all the same on the inside!

I recommend for upper elementary, maybe 5th or 6th grades. My son (10yrs) and I love this book! We are using this along with Scholastic's The Body Book and it is working perfectly! We typically do not enjoy science, but this semester has been great. It goes into enough detail to give my son an idea of how the body works, but not bore him to death! It does have 3 chapters (Acts 7,8,9) that I intend on saving for the end of our body lessons, because I am using 2 books in tandem these lessons are not in the other book and they go into the 7 Endocrine, 8 Reproductive, and 9 Immune systems. I read this book aloud with my son and I'm able to answer questions or Google. Definitely read it together if you are concerned about certain topics! Overall it's been great!

I homeschool my son. I am painfully picky about which science materials I will use to teach him. They must be written with a strong dedication to empirical accuracy. This book hits that mark so far, while also being written in a fun and accessible way that has really captured my son's attention (I read it to him during school time and we discuss it together). Really pleased with this book. He is not always excited to sit down and do school work, so watching his wonderment when he learns about how our bodies work has given me genuine joy. He's almost 8 by the way, but this book can be aged up or down in my opinion. For example, if you want your child to stop and memorize the bones in the hand, you can do that. If they are younger, you can read the main points and not linger on details. Don't forget to use silly voices for the narrating body parts. :)

This book got my seven year old to read about anatomy. The reproductive section does show male and female inner parts in a subdued clinical way - no explanation of sex either just shows egg and sperm getting together to form a baby. I thought it was tasteful, my husband wondered if reproductive anatomy was age appropriate for a 7 year old. However, I read my mom's anatomy nursing books when I could crawl and it did not harm me any - in fact, I got a science degree when I grew up! The more you learn when you are young the easier learning will be in future.

Bought to add to my human body unit. Loved it. Rewriting unit to follow chapter progression, as mine were out of order though logical.

Le sujet est complexe et ici l'angle est parfait, avec humour un squelette nous explique le fonctionnement de chaque "système" du corps humain. Pour un non médecin et les enfants c'est parfait.

Paketlemesi hızlı teslimatı ve kitabın kusursuz olarak teslim edilmesinden dolayı teşekkür ederim.

The kids enjoy this fun introduction to human biology

My 8-year-old son loves this book so much. He borrowed this book from school and was obsessed this book so much. It provides joyful knowledge about human biology to kids with easy-to-understand information and a ton of lovely pictures. I had to buy this book for him in order to read whenever he want without any concerns about returning to library. I also love the theme about body theater that make kids enthusiastic to read more and not bored.

Una forma divertida de conocer el cuerpo humano. Ya teníamos la edición en español y compramos la edición en inglés como ayuda para la asignatura de Natural Sciences. Imprescindible en primaria y muy útil para secundaria. Todo un acierto
