My Review:
Human Anatomy for Kids provides basic information about human anatomy at a level suitable for kids. It covered various systems in the body (respiratory, digestive, reproductive, etc.). At the start of each chapter, it had a nice photo of a human anatomy model. In the chapter, there were simple diagrams showing the location of the various organs in that system. There were also some activities for the kids to do relating to anatomy. The information didn't get very in-depth. For example, the book listed some different tissue types but only gave a brief, one sentence description of what they did and how they differed. This book was more of a nice introduction to the topic rather than actual teaching text (like for homeschooling).


If you've read this book, what do you think about it? I'd be honored if you wrote your own opinion of the book in the comments.
