Join Slim Goodbody and his Body Buddies for a system-by-system exploration of the amazing human body.

Synopsis

Join Slim Goodbody and his Body Buddies for a system-by-system exploration of the amazing human body.

Children's Literature

Huff, Puff, Ticker, Cognos, Squirt, Gurgle, Flex, and Strut will engage children of almost any age—and even adults—in the informal education of how the human body works. These characters are known as Body Buddies. Thanks to their appeal and the full-color pictures, this addition to "Slim Goodbody's" series is an entertaining read that manages to be educational without seeming so. The author has taken complex information and reduced it to a simplified form. The book includes a fun review, amazing facts, a glossary, a list of additional resources, and an index. Mr. Burstein (a.k.a. Slim Goodbody) knows what he is doing, and he is skilled at getting his health message across. As mentioned above, this book is part of a series. I recommend you get them all. Your children will not be bored, and neither will you! The entire series would be an excellent addition to elementary classrooms and libraries. Reviewer: Debby Willett
