Lift-The-Flap Questions and Answers: How Does My Body Work?
How Does My Body Work is a part of the long running series by Usborne Books in relation to early learning and body function. This particular edition is for children 4+ and approaches the subject with questions and answers relevant for curious kids.
What is the biggest muscle in the body? Don’t know? Lift the flap and readers learn, it’s your butt! Why do I get out of breath? Lift the flap, there is a cute brain answering a call from a red blood cell ordering more oxygen. Why do get thirsty? Lift the flap and a bunch of different cells are saying cheers and drinking water. All of this information and more explained clearly with diagrams and humour. The illustrations are fun and age-appropriate, cells, nerves, and organs all have little cheery faces, the children run and jump and play and the people shown are diverse and inclusive.
Kids are smart and want to understand things happening around them. How Does My Body Work doesn’t talk down to them, but answers the questions, and explains why, plain and simple. It does all this by making the facts fun without any yuckiness. This is the kind of book will be revisited time and time again and is a great aid to children in the understanding of their own body.
