Human Body Theater: A Non-Fiction Revue

This is a great book! It is such a wonderful way to teach kids about their bodies. It is scientific, fun, and very kid friendly. It does talk about how babies are made in an easily digestible, honest, yet kid appropriate way. I love this book and would suggest if for every parent.

My daughter has always loved learning about the human body and its processes. This book is perfect for her at this stage because she also is into graphic novel-style text. The theme is cute (a skeleton leads a Broadway-style show of acts, each one describing a different system of the body starting with skeletal, going into muscle, digestive, endocrine, etc) Reading it with her at bedtime brings back memories of A&P classes lol. The terminology is accurate, which was surprising and refreshing that they didn't candy-coat anything. I appreciated that the author was able to make the information digestible for a 10 year old while keeping it detailed and scientific.

I ordered this book to see if I could use it in my 7th gr. science classroom. Teachers are to encourage "reading across the curriculum" and teens like graphic novels. The book is factually correct, easy to read, great drawings and well written. I am going to order a class set and assign different body systems to read and answer questions. I will create the questions, according to the students' level, and assign them. I may also add "graphic-type" questions, where students may draw what comes next in the scenario. Thank you for making a fun book over the human body systems!

I bought a classroom set of this book for my 6th grade science students. The book has been wonderfully engaging. My high level readers are enjoying the comics and not getting bored while my low level readers are not intimidated by the text as it is a graphic novel. All of them are genuinely learning biological vocabulary. It's been a great way to introduce our studies of the human body.

Seriously....it doesn't get much better than this book. My daughters are 3 and 4 years old and I am currently in nursing school. This is an incredible look into how our bodies work without being so dumbed down that it's silly or so complex that you have trouble following. I don't always read it word-for-word when we sit down to look it over, but the illustrations are magnificent and really hit the ideas home. My older daughter definitely understands certain concepts well beyond her age, like the fact that there are good germs and bad. She realizes that sometimes our bodies react or over-react to things it thinks are bad and some people have allergies! She is definitely my little study buddy! I love that I can foster her interest in science and biology with things like this. I would have loved to have had this as a kid!!!One of my favorite little gems is that the skeleton that brings us on the journey is shown to be female at the end! My daughter got a real kick out of that and it really opened doors to talking about how we're all the same on the inside!

We got this book as a gift and since that moment my kids read it at least 7 times. My son is sating he would love to become a doctor, so he was fascinated to learn how different systems work inside human body.

Great information and illustration

Its good but kids needs to be a little older.

Bought this after checking it out from the library. My kids have reread it more than any other book they own. Great factual information delivered in a fun easy way for kids to understand

Una forma divertida de conocer el cuerpo humano. Ya teníamos la edición en español y compramos la edición en inglés como ayuda para la asignatura de Natural Sciences. Imprescindible en primaria y muy útil para secundaria. Todo un acierto

Le sujet est complexe et ici l'angle est parfait, avec humour un squelette nous explique le fonctionnement de chaque "système" du corps humain.Pour un non médecin et les enfants c'est parfait.

The kids enjoy this fun introduction to human biology

For kids and adults to enjoy together, but you can leave the kids alone with the book, it surely turns on their curiosity mode without effort
