Children's ✦ Penny’s Take
Little Book of the Human Body
Fiona Chandler · 2005
76/100
👍 Worth It
Usborne's track record for clear, colorful, child-friendly nonfiction is well established, and this body-systems introduction fits the mold well — it covers senses, digestion, bones, health, and even doctor visits in a tone that reassures rather than frightens. The internet links are dated (2005 is a long time ago in web years), but the core content holds up for its age range. A reliable purchase for ages five to eight who are curious about how their bodies work.
