How Does My Body Work? Human Body Book for Kids: STEAM Experiments and Activities for Kids 8-12

Excellent book for young kids. It's easy to understand, my daughter likes it a lot.

Gave this as a gift for a science loving one day Doctor friend of my daughters. It got rave reviews. I liked that it had experiments and all different topics. Very pleased with it.

Illustrations are wonderful

This is an excellent book. It would be great to have these types of facts alongside our medical school lectures (why are we half an inch taller in the morning)! The creative activities and exercises are sure to foster interest in all the systems of the human body, with different things that would appeal to different kids, from making recipes to cool crafts to physical exercises and experiments. The explanations of topics are clear and accessible. This provides wonderful inspiration for learning through hands-on activities. I can especially see this making kids grow a new interest in science, or advancing their knowledge for those who love science. I wish I had this as a kid!

From my 8 year old son in his own words, “What I like about this book is the, Whoa Weird facts about your body. I also like the steam experiments that physically let you understand how your body works.I’m not only gawking at the awesomeness from this book but also in how this helps you understand how your body works through Steam experiments. So, I give this book a five start rating! All in all, if you are someone who likes to learn about the human body and how it works, like me, this is the book for you!”

I can’t emphasize how AWESOME this book is. My 7 year old has always asked a lot of questions about the body and sometimes my explanations are too complicated… or too simple. This book hits the mark on explaining all the different organ systems in very easy to understand terms. Plus the experiments really help teach the concepts in meaningful and fun ways. By far, this the best book for anyone interested in the human body and I’d recommend it for the entire family.

My eight-year-old son loves this book! I bought this for him because he loves sharing random facts daily (something he learns from school or his own 'research'). Another bonus is that his little five-year-old brother also wants me to read him this book and do experiments with his big brother. This has been a good way to learn science from home and spend some time away from electronic devices. The book is well-written with awesome illustrations.

This book teaches about cells, organs and systems in the body in a fun, easy to comprehend way. Dr LaFleur uses funny analogies to explain how the body works. Tons of experiments help reinforce learning by *doing* in addition to reading. Most of the experiments use stuff you already have around the house so there isn’t a requirement to plan ahead. This book makes a great gift for kids who are curious how our bodies work.

Excellent! I'd buy 100 such books without thinking twice.
