Amazon.co.uk Review
Become a Human Body Explorer is an interesting CD-ROM full of information about the human body. It's aimed at children aged 6-10 years old, but would be best suited to older end of this age range.

Seemore Skinless, the helpful skeleton, guides the children through a wide range of games, quizzes and experiments. Children can play four fun interactive games, which involve, for example, collecting body parts by answering questions and learning about the body and choosing how Seemore should spend his day. There is an excellent search feature so that children can access information screens on a very wide range of topics. (Parents of younger children may want to supervise children's use of this, as there is information about reproduction and how our bodies change.) Children also have the opportunity to create their own Secret File, which contains information about themselves and can become a scrapbook of facts.

So once children have visited the information screens, played the games, answered brainteaser questions and found out amazing facts, they will have discovered all they need to know about the human body.

Become a Human Body Explorer would be a good buy for parents or teachers of children aged 8-11 years old. It encourages children to explore and find out about the human body in a fun and interesting way. --Amanda York

MAKE NO BONES ABOUT THIS SOFTWARE
It's hard to think of many pieces of software that can keep a 4 and 6 year old hooked for an hour or more ... but both were eager to become Human Body Explorers.

The simple navigation menu is a delight and the 4 year old soon took charge of the keyboard and mouse! ..... then proceed to blow the Seymore skeleton to pieces and put it back together in record time with almost an air 'I could fix real bodies if given a chance' ..... and do abit of brain surgery after tea!

Seymore Skinless the skeleton guide thoughout the exploration may not have the mass appeal of Bob the Builder but he has certainly cult status with these young computer users.

Make no bones this is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Fun and brilliant!
My two girls (aged 5 and 7) love this. They have learned all the organs in the body, where they are situated and what they do. But most importantly they have learned all this in such a fun way. Every screen allows them to work forwards or backwards and each screen offers a great choice of things to do. DK make use of levers and buttons and arrows and lots of other mediums to get the idea across. The sound attached is relevant, and not at all annoying.
Any child who can use a mouse will sus out how to use the package very quickly and consequently mum and dad will have peace!.
I cannot recommend it highly enough.

truly brilliant
I have three children ranging from seven to eleven and I can honestly say we have never had so much fun exploring the human body. I am a health professional and have studied human biology etc, but I still managed to learn. My kids absolutely loved it, they were inviting friends around to explore with them, the laughter and giggles was amazing. Yet another brilliant 'explorer' title.
