If the “Body Worlds” exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry was a must-see for your family or if you have a child who looks forward dissection days at school, then Human Body by John Fardon should be a big hit in your house.
The pages are full of facts about the human body, but the transparent pages are the real draw. You can look at different body systems one by one and then lay the pages down over each other to see how everything fits together. Our testing mom said her daughter loved being able to see all the veins on the transparent pages and also liked the two giant posters that came with the book. So whether your kid is already a biology nut or just has a passing interest, this book can provide hours of educational entertainment.
Human Body, published by Silver Dolphin, is recommended for ages 8 and up and retails for $16.95. For more information or to order, visit www.silverdolphinbooks.com.
