This book is fun because it has such an innocent sounding title, but has a lot of meat inside. It's not just a coloring book, but has descriptions of what is on the page. For most of the book printing is on the right hand page only. (That is a plus since it removes the problem of bleed-through.)

Reading is slow because I am a slow colorer. Coloring the illustrations makes them much more delightful, and the book often has suggestions as to what kinds of colors to use. It is a delightful book show more to browse in, and on pages I am interested in I go ahead and color those pages.

Okay, time to mark this one as read. I'm not actually reading it, just enjoying it from time to time. AND, the fourth edition is out, so it is time to mark it as read. show less

For anyone studying human anatomy, this book is simply one of the best study guides out there. The illustrations are very clear and very detailed. The thing that makes this better than most study guides is that by coloring each page, the reader is much more involved in the studying of the body.

great way to study after too much reading! easy and fun, coloring helps cement the info and form a picture of the subject in your mind.

Different people have different learning styles and this is excellent for those who need to do more than just read about the subject. Coloring the pictures gives the student an insight into how the parts fit together and interact as well as providing a memory aid.

It needs to be used as a study guide in order to get the most out of it- giving it your complete attention, even though it is "just" a coloring book. It works best with a large selection of very sharp colored pencils, not markers or show more crayons.

It is suitable for some middle school students, but high school aged and above will get the most benefit from it. show less
