First Encyclopedia of the Human Body

Disappointing as according to this book there is nothing between your bellybutton and knees!! No information on genitals which is ridiculous. Covers other topics well enough with good diagrams. No real mention of poo or wee though, also a problem for inquisitive little ones.

My 5 year old daughter loves this book. She is really into human body and this book explains it perfectly for her age.

Usborne is a reliable publisher and this book continues the tradition. It is a well-produced hardcover, full of colourful illustrations and photographs which accompany the text to explain the wonders of the human being.Divided into sixty-two chapter, it covers a wide range of subjects very well.It will be a great beginning for the grandchildren. Recommended.

I bought this book for my nearly 8 year old to support home learning. She really enjoyed this introduction to human body and how it works. The chapters are right length, not too complex and can be additionally supported by videos on YouTube. I do recommend as first book about human body.

This has become an absolute hit in our home. So far every child who visited and saw the book loved it too- and you can learn quite a bit as an adult too! The pictures are very detailed and the text has just the right length for a child in Year 1. Would recommend it from 6 onwards. We also have the Children's encyclopedia from Usborne and although the pics look similar the body is covered in much more detail here. For us it is still worthwhile buying this series as well as they go more into depth than the encyclopedia.
