Books Editor (673 KP) shared own list

Two finalists for the National Book Awards appear on this week’s New York Times list: Frank Bidart’s collected poems, “Half-Light,” and Carmen Maria Machado’s debut collection of stories, “Her Body and Other Parties.”

We’re nearing the season for ghost stories — or in some cases un-ghost stories and cautionary tales about what happens when we try too hard to put our history behind us.

Inside Out Human Body: Explore the World's Most Amazing Machine! by Luann Columbo is a fantastic book full of facts and diagrams which enables us to begin to understand the human body in all its glory. Each section has a layered model which illustrates some of the facts presented. The book is extremely informative. 

This book gives the reader information about our muscular system, skeletal system, joints, digestive system, urinary system, respiratory system, and nervous system. Pronunciation tips for more advanced words like pulmonary are provided and there are some simple experiments kids can do to demonstrate what they’re learning, such as looking at the underside of their tongue in a mirror to see their blood vessels. 

I recommend this book to any kid or kids and heart who loves learning about the human body. 

Thank you to Quarto Publishing Group  and becker&mayer kids! for this ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
