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.

This is an early reader book so will also help to reinforce reading skills and build confidence. At the back of the book it lists the high frequency words as well as content words that can be pre-taught or discussed if the book is being read aloud. There are facts given during the reading accompanied by wonderful photos and many labels. The section at the back for parents and teachers gives suggested activities for connecting concept as well as resources for further investigation.
I recommend this book for young readers and for parents and teachers to read to children.

I knew little about the work of forensic anthropologists and especially had no idea about some of the work detailed in this book, so it was very interesting to read about all of the work, difficulties and benefits involved. It's quite an in depth read and a serious one at that, so it takes a lot of concentration but in the end it's still worth it. I did get a little frustrated at how Blsck referred to death as a "her" - completely understood why, but I would never do this myself and found it odd constantly referring to death as a female and a little bizarre. But aside for this, Black is obviously an expert in her field and her vast knowledgeable and experience is great to read about.
