Customer Reviews

This book is so much fun!3
My four daughters and I have had so much fun making these models. I've recommended it to several friends and they've also loved it. The Body Book makes basic anatomy more understandable for those who are hands-on learners. The text also includes information about each part of the body studied. All of the student pages are reproducible. I copied ours onto ordinary 24 lb. copy paper which worked okay. But I would recommend using cardstock for at least the skeleton portion of the model if you want it to hold up long term.

Great for homeschoolers!5
If you have been frustrated using a text book to teach your children anatomy, you've got to try this book! It gets the kids involved instead of just reading big words out of a book. I have 13,12, and 8 year old boys, and they all enjoy the making of the models. I highly recommend this book.

great hands-on activities!5
my 5 yr old loved this book! We studied human anatomy for several months, added in books for each system in the body, and she (and I) would create and build all the models for each system in the body. "Susie", my daughter's 'final project' from this book, a 3-4 ft tall skeletal model of the human body with all the organs in their proper place, was a huge hit! I HIGHLY recommend this book! We loved it!
