Editorial Reviews

"Perfect for updating anatomy collections; these books will ooze right off the shelves."—School Library Journal

From the Publisher

11/01/2020

Gr 3–5—Blood, guts, and gore abound in these guides to the human body. Photos show scabs, frostbite, ulcers, and pimples; diagrams reveal the layers of skin or the digestive tract. Captions provide additional information. The writing style will appeal to young readers, with descriptions that are clever and humorous. In addition to the vivid images conjured by the prose, there is the added feature of augmented reality. Using the app, readers can watch blood cells moving, stomach acid squirting, or a cavity forming. Back matter includes a glossary, further reading, and a list of gross facts. VERDICT Perfect for updating anatomy collections; these books will ooze right off the shelves.
