The Big Book of Answers About My Body is exactly what its title says... A large-sized book, with many answers to questions that young children have about the human body and its functions.
Both the cover and the inner pages are made of thick paper, so it withstands rough handling from little hands. Even though we have opened the flaps countless times, they are still in place.
It is colorful, cheerful, impressive, interactive, original, bright, full of surprises, but also useful hidden information in the secret flaps that open!
The impressive and vivid illustrations captivate the little eyes, and the alternation of colors and themes pique their interest. In the end, it wins over both young and older readers.
The important thing is that the little ones learn many useful facts about their bodies... And not just the little ones... It is very interesting even for adults... I admit that as a mom, I didn’t know many of the answers... Even the ones I did know, I couldn’t give them in such a simple, pleasant, and understandable way!
In the center spread of the book, there is a super impressive illustration of a bright red heart. Around it, there is information about blood, as well as this very important organ of our body. I don’t think there’s a child who will see it and not be fascinated!
Anyway, my kids laughed a lot at specific questions, such as: “Where does pee come from?”, “How does food turn into poop?” and “Why do you have gas?” At first, they teased each other, but the more often we read it, the more they paid attention. In the end, I think they understood and remembered many answers.
This particular book is not one to read before bedtime... But it is suitable for a pleasant and calm break from play or television.
It gave me the opportunity to talk to my boys about daily hygiene and caring for our bodies, about good nutrition, why we absolutely must brush our teeth, and what to do when we get sick.
Because this book impressed me and was loved by my kids, I got another book from the same series: “The Big Book of Answers: Our World”! Equally impressive, colorful, and interactive!
