Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal Gr 1-3--This introductory series clearly explains the workings of the human body. The simple texts present the basics (types of hair, what teeth are made of, parts of the brain) in everyday language. The full-color photos and illustrations are clear and complement the text; especially helpful are the drawings of body parts or systems superimposed on photographs of children. Brain addresses memory, sleep, and learning, as well as anatomical structure. Skin, Teeth & Hair includes information on dental health, types of skin and hair, as well as anatomy. Christine A.
