My First Body Book (DK Games)
Kindergarten-Grade 3?An oversized, photo-filled introduction. The text is prefaced by a series of transparencies that show the skeletal, circulatory, digestive, and muscular systems, which allows readers to "look right inside a body and see where each part belongs." Double-page spreads then show each of the major systems and senses. Each topic is introduced by a paragraph that explains the functions of the system, followed by three or four subtopics that offer related information. Text is basic and conversational, and provides an adequate overview of the subject. A variety of accompanying activities are suggested, most tried and true, but a few are unique. Full-color photographs of children complement the drawings, diagrams, and photos of body parts. A visually interesting, balanced presentation.?Denise L.
