This book would be a good read to first or second graders. This story allows you to take a tour around your amazing body and find out what your heart and lungs do, how you use your five senses and where food goes after you eat. This book covers lots of different body functions.
I enjoyed reading this book. It is amazing to me how our bodies function. The words were simple to understand and the pictures were very informative and colorful. The book also has a glossary of body words and a website to visit to learn more about the body.
As an extension idea we would draw various parts of the body. As an example, I would have a child draw a picture of the heart and next to it telling the functions of the heart. We would do this for all the major parts of the body. This would be a great way to get a visual of our body parts and what exactly happens to keep us alive.
