Me and My Amazing Body

40 months - a simple introduction to the body. O is very into learning about everything under our skin from the nerves and bones to blood and muscles so this is a nice easy starting book. We've since moved on to more complex information and detailed illustrations.

Summary: This book is about a young girl who talks about the different parts and systems of the body. She begins by showing what we see on the outside (eyes, ears, nose, skin) and then moves to what is on the inside. She starts by talking about the bones and how they make up the skeletal system, and she continues to do this with the rest of the body. At the end of the story there are some interesting facts about the human body.

Personal Reaction: This is a great book for learning about the human body. It is very informational. The illustrations are also very vivid and great for the younger reader. I read this with my daughter and she really enjoyed it.

Classroom Extensions:
1. Before reading the story with the class, ask the class what show more they know about the human body. After reading the story have a class discussion over what they learned.
2. Do a big art project with the class and have them trace their own bodies on paper and have them draw the different parts inside of it. show less

Summary: A little girl tells all about her body and some of its basic parts and processes. She tells about her skin, bones, muscles, brain, blood, heart, lungs, and stomach and gives a simple explanation of their functions.

Personal Reaction: I enjoyed this book and its simple explanations of the human body. It is very basic so it is a great introduction to students about their body. The illustrations made it even better and easier to understand how our bodies fit together.

Classroom Extension ideas:
1. I would have students choose a main body part or function to research further. I would have them write a report on their finding.
2. I would have the students pick one body part or function and draw it.
