Format: Hardcover book (10” x 12”), with 5 pages that fold out into a 10-page size (5 feet x 20”) pop-up human body. Bilingual Journey’s Age Recommendations: from 3 to 12 years Country of origin: Mexico Description: This hardcover book has 5 informational pages on the body systems, which fold out into a full-size human body, with pop-ups and moving parts, showing the organs, the bones, the muscles, etc. While it provides labels for most of the anatomical parts, it also gives informational descriptions of selected ones, e.g. “Al final del día mides un centímetro menos que en la mañana. Esto se debe a que el suave cartílago que se encuentra entre los huesos de tu columna, se va aplastando.” Our comments: El gran libro desplegable del cuerpo humano is an incredible way to teach human anatomy to children. Children love pop-ups, and are naturally curious about the body, but how rare it is to find a pop-up book on human anatomy! The youngest children in the suggested age range will just want to see the body and touch and move the parts while the parent tells the names of the parts and what the parts do. The older children will find the body and the text interesting (as will most parents!) This is an interactive book, which is the best way to teach and learn, and will certainly inspire children to be interested in a subject that can be so fascinating, or so dull, depending on how it is presented. In this book, human anatomy is fascinating. |
