Human Body Learning Lab KIDS BOOK REVIEW – Take an Inside Tour of How Your Anatomy Works
Note: Thank you to Dr. Betty Choi for providing a copy to review. All opinions are my own.
The human body is amazing. After all, it’s a part of all of us, so understanding how our bodies work is important. But for some kids, learning about anatomy may not exactly sound like fun. Human Body Learning Lab: Take an Inside Tour of How Your Anatomy Works, a new non-fiction children’s book by pediatrician Dr. Betty Choi, changes this perception.
This book proves that science doesn’t have to be boring. It’s a kid-friendly book with full-color illustrations, easy-to-understand explanations, and fun projects to keep kids engaged and interested.
This interactive book uses colorful diagrams to teach how body parts work and offers simple instructions for building 3D models of all the major body systems (nervous, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, immune, endocrine, and reproductive). Hands-on projects and activities help kids to understand the body in action.
Kids can shape bones from salt dough, make coffee filter kidneys, build a DNA model, create a moving eye model, and more. In addition to learning fun facts, kids can evaluate their own body functions such as taste perception, lung capacity, touch sensitivity, and colorblindness, just to name a few.
This book can spark curiosity in kids to look more than skin deep at themselves. Not only will they be exploring anatomical structures, but they’ll also see how their body systems coordinate and learn what makes them unique. It’s education that’s fun and accessible.
Ideal for 8-to-12-year-olds, this incredible book would be the perfect addition to any child’s bookshelf as well as in classrooms and libraries.
Human Body Learning Lab is available at all major book retailers in-store and online including on Amazon (Hardcover, Paperback, Kindle).
