Brilliant!
I ordered this book for my son (6) as I remembered owning it myself as a child (it has been updated!).

The book shows how fantastic your body is by breaking it down into machines - how it eats, grows, moves etc.

Really easy to read and visually enticing for 5-11 year olds. I would recommend keeping it for sharing for the younger ones as it has an interesting but question-inducing "How Babies are Made" section.

I can't recommend this book enough.

Easy to understand, well thought out book
My son loves this book. For young children who are interested in how the body works some of the other books on the market are a bit too realistic and can be a bit "gory" for a child.

This book interprets all the body functions as "machines" and constantly refers back to the other machines in other sections. For boys especially they can understand the analagy of a "if we were to build a machine that did this, this is what it would look like".

The pictures are really clear, and it gives just enough information for my 7 year old to understand yet not too much to confuse.

Really love book and would recommend it.

We love it!
This book is brilliant at helping kids with understanding how the body works & with their homework.
