From Booklist
With simple, chatty sentences and clearly labeled images of kids in action, this Scholastic Reader title packs in fascinating facts about body parts, how they work individually and together. First there is the skin, then “underneath your skin . . . bones protect important parts of the body like your brain and heart.” Then there are the five senses, explained on pages that are illustrated with scenes of a girl smelling a flower and a boy touching a kitten. The clear sequence shows and tells the physiological connections, making this a great title for both personal reading and classroom sharing. Grades K-2. --Hazel Rochman
