I read it myself (an adult) , to Ellanor aged 10 aged 10 & to Warren aged 6 aged 6

I brought this book for a family member who enjoys reading and learning facts about the human body.
This book is new out and aimed at children around about 10 years but I think all children will enjoy reading the facts, I know I did and I'm an adult.
I only had a quick glance through the book with my 10 & 6 year old and we read a few facts together but had to put the book away as it wasn't for us.
Both my children asked me to buy the book for them, my 10 year old because she likes learning about anything to do with the body and wants to be a nurse when she is older and my 6 year old because he likes anything that he classes as "gross".
Lucky my daughter has won a copy of this book on toppsta, so were just waiting for it to arrive.
Overall it seem a fantastic book and a great way to inform children all about the body in a fun way.

jamie read it themselves aged 6 aged 6

I had this book with my 10 year old in mind, but my 6 year old was really excited by it. The illustrations inside are fun and quirky. The facts are laid out nicely and explained in a really fun way. My 6 year old has taken it in for his 'golden time' today. This is where they can take a toy or whatever they like , as a treat for the end of the week of school. He's been repeatedly coming out with' did you know .....' , so these facts are sticking in his memory and I think this brilliant. Obviously you learn more when it's fun, and this is just the book for body facts. I found myself picking it up and reading through, so I'd say for all ages really. This would make a great gift for a child , boy or girl

Danmanx read it themselves aged 9 aged 9

I loved this book you gave me. I was so so surprised I got it thanks. I loved all the awesome facts about the body like.... Thousands of mites live inside the skin of your face. The pictures are amazing. I think if I had to give it a score out of 100 it would be 98. I think this book would be great for boys and girls age 6+. This book not only gives you facts it also has activities to do. The fact I found the funniest was that the language you speak affects the way you sneeze. My favourite fact was that blood can spurt up to 9 meters through the air.

I read it to Éanna aged 9 aged 9

This is a great collection of facts for kids of most ages. I read it with my 8 year old son and he loved remembering the interesting/gross/funny facts and telling them to his friends at school.

The text is at a level that he was able to read with only the odd word needing to be explained/looked up in the dictionary.

It's all presented in a child friendly way with great images on each page.

I read it to Bobbin aged 9 aged 9 & to Piglet aged 5 aged 5

What am amazing book! We have a copy of the 'Space' book in this series, which my boys loved, so decided to also get this. I have just read over half of this book to my 9 an 5 year old on a long train journey. Both children both kept on telling me to 'read more!', which is probably the best review of a book you can ever get. It is FULL of lots of really interesting facts about the human body, all presented using simple and stylistic graphic illustrations. Information is presented in short, sharp sentences that are easy for young children to grasp. My children now know lots of amazing facts about the human body, this is a fantastic book that my children thought was brilliant and could not get enough of. Highly recommended.
