Loading... Body Battlesby Rita Golden Gelman
![]() None No current Talk conversations about this book. ![]() ![]() “Body battles” is a nice and interesting take of the body and the functions that it has. The story takes the perspective of a 3rd person narrative and describes several disease fighting functions the body possesses. The message the book gives is really a nice way for children to understand certain body functions and how to keep your-self healthy and clean. One thing that I liked about the text was the illustrations did more than just have cartoon illustrations of the body functions. They also show what exactly the function looks like in real life and shows what really happens within the body. The second thing I found interesting was the language used within the story wasn’t “dumbed down” for the younger students it kept the highly educated words. The passage I found to help describe how they didn’t lower the detail and description is when they describe the stomach acid, “Stomach acid is also called hydrochloric acid or HCI.” no reviews | add a review
