My Silly Body and Book
My Silly Body and Book by P. Hanson and Eric Nagourney engages children right away with a life-size, interactive, cardboard cut-out figure that folds out of the book. It includes lift-and-learn flaps that reveal the inside of the body––heart, intestines, and the brain. Flip the figure over and children can examine an x-ray like skeleton with all of the bones in place from the skull to the tiny bones in fingers and toes.
The book is filled with 64 pages of information on how the body works and includes experiments, jokes, and even takes children on a journey of the digestive system to find out why we eat what we eat. Finally, a book that can unlock the mysteries of the body to young children. I love it and I even learned a few things myself!
