Okay read; not a kids book; but a decent supplement to child learningBy MichelleThis book is part of an educational series; with this book focusing specifically on anatomy and physiology. My kindergarten aged daughter is ALWAYS asking questions about how her body works; and my husband and I were hopeful this would be a good supplement to answering her questions in an age-appropriate manner. I would say this book is fair at meeting our needs. This is a fairly comprehensive overview of the human body and its structures. There are at two more volumes in this series; which we have also reviewed. They are helpful as a whole; as each one builds on the others; and each provides lessons on different structures and systems. This volume outlines the respiratory system; the digestive system; and the reproductive system. For each chapter; this volume goes through the anatomy or structures and also the physiology or functions of each system. I will be saving this book for use in another few years for when it is time to really teach my children about puberty and reproduction.Some of the chapters really go into some depth and read almost like a medical book. Other chapters seem to just barely skim the surface of what could be taught. There are many diagrams included which really break down the different structures and which make it easier to understand the depth of each structure. This is an okay book for children or beginning a study of anatomy; but it does leave some room for improvement. A child is unlikely to be able to peruse this book on their own without an adult nearby to explain some of the basics. We found this book (and the series; as a whole) helpful for refreshing our memories before answering questions posed by our children. It is certainly not a childrens book; however.I received this book for free in exchange for my honest review.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Neither interesting nor educationalBy Tiffany HolleyDear publisher - reading the text across a block of red patterned image (is that supposed to be blood? cells? or ???) is very wearying on the eyes. Please choose something with a lower eye-strain factor.This book is a random; disjointed collection of images; along with some panels of text about the human body. It has a distinct feeling of "random science trivia" rather than "learning" anything. The reading level and appropriate grade level of the information presented also seem highly varied and inconsistent.Basically; it leaves you feeling like youve just flipped through a shuffled deck of cards - no rhyme or reason to it at all.So; the book is maybe interesting enough to look through and see the photos although most seem to be generic stock photo images) and read the facts (some are interesting); but its really just not a "read" at all. For free; you can easily grab the Kindle edition (like I did); to have a look and enjoy the casual browse. But I definitely cant see a reason to spend your hard-earned cash if the price were increased. Its not even in the same league as a true educational resource.I am obligated to add the disclaimer that "I received this product free in exchange for agreeing to provide a review" which is pretty silly; given that it is already free for everyone... Obviously; that has not compelled me to write a falsely positive review. Unfortunately; this same review refers to all three volumes in this series.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Great if you really are interested in the human bodyBy Jo EllisonThis is a great book for anyone that is interested in the human body. It does read like a textbook so I am not sure it would be very good for younger readers if they did not have any help from an adult; or if they are not interested in learning about the body. Especially since some of the words are rather large. The pictures of the anatomy of the body and diagrams are very helpful in being able to see where things that are being talked about are located. The reading is a bit hard at time; not due to the content; but the pages and fonts used. A more consistent font would have been great and the background on the pages was very distracting.Recommend this to a friend? Yes I would; but only if they were getting it for themselves or someone who really loves anatomy.Conclusion: I am very satisfied with this product.*** Do not rely on the star system alone; pay attention to WHY a person either liked or disliked a product. Many products can be used differently from the way the product was intended for. The way you intend to use the product or what you need to accomplish may not be what the person reviewing it used and rated it for. ***I received this product at a discount for my honest and unbiased review. The discount has not influenced or impacted my judgment of this product. I take this seriously and my opinion and experience is my own. I am in no way required by the seller to leave positive remarks about their product. Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
