The Body (Volume 16) (My First Discoveries) Spiral-bound – May 1, 2012

Great graphics. My son was interested enough to start asking questions. It does start with baby in womb(has a clear sheet, with picture. When you flip the page the image changes on backside of clear sheet). They use this method repeatedly(muscles, bones etc). Is age appropriate but if your not ready to talk about babies in the womb you might want to hold off on this one. But my son loves it and we pick it up at least once a week and he shows me where his bones are that are in the pictures.

My kid is obsessed with the book. It's not meant to overwhelm with words, very toddler level. The illustrations are pretty if a bit small sometimes and the transparent pages are so cool. Covers a lot of topics that you can expand on

My 5 year old has a lot of questions about his body. He learns best by seeing what is being explained. This book offers kid friendly images that help me show him what's on the inside. He loves the pictures that overlay.

This is a beautiful book on the human body -- the overlay pages are gorgeous and show how each system in the body works. Some of the figures are anatomically correct. This book provides just the right amount of detail for a preschool-aged child who is curious about how the human body functions. I would recommend this for ages 3-5.

My 4 year old loves this book, there’s more here than he can fully understand now but he can still look at the pictures and ask questions.

It was difficult to find. I ordered it from several other resources and then it got "canceled" after I ordered it.

The Body, My First Discovery series illustrated by Sylvaine Peyrols-2018 reprint Moonlight Publishing. One of few books available for children ages 3-9. Beautifully illustrated using transparency pages of skeletal, muscle, circulatory, organs and more.

First of all, the book is way smaller than I expected. I am not familiar with the series (My First Discoveries) and I did not pay attention to the description that states that the book size is 6.5 x 7 inches. For such a book it would be better to have a regular or big size.The idea of transparent pages with different body systems is absolutely wonderful. However, the reproductive system is missing! What kind of an odd mind would picture boys and girls genitals and leave out reproductive system? Hey, it is not like poof! and reproductive system appears out of nowhere at puberty!Also, a fetus is pictured in some kind of sphere in vacuum. Seriously? Nowadays at the age recommended (3-5 years) children already know that babies are not brought by storks, but grow in a woman belly. Authors (or editors, whoever made the decision on leaving those facts out) should get over their prudishness.So I would recommend this book ONLY as an additional material to complete anatomy book.
