It's a hands-on, check out the human body book! 5 different pop-ups of different aspects of the human body WITH a key to understanding them! Full colour illustrations. Images to help define harder to understand terms.. like the drawings showing the different types of joints we have. Complex 3D images, Easy to read.

My lad is always interested in learning things about the world around him, and that includes how we work. He will frequently come to me with new stuff that he has learned and that has amazed him. Take for instance this one on how the immune system works.
Or about a month ago, I was browsing in one of the thrift stores and we came across a technical book.. I think for doctors to learn all the parts of the body... EVERYTHING was broken down so we could look up how the ear works and we could see the tendons that are not working right in my feet and legs. It helped both of us gain a better understanding of what is going in our bodies.
NOW.... This book doesn't have that technical detail (neither should it) but it has a ton of interesting facts to amaze and delight, not only your children, but you as mom and dad as well. My son's response to the 3-D images was "oh wow, look at this mom!"
For those to whom it matters it does contain some evolutionary stuff in, but not much and could be easily bypassed (or used as a talking point).
The book starts off with "What is a Human" and proceeds from their to different aspects of the body, pulling up 3D images of Bones and Muscles, The brain, the eye, respiration and digestion. It closes off with a page on the human life cycle and what it takes to grow well (ie. a balanced diet).
Each 3D image is presented with a section inbetween them, thereby adding strength to the pages. They come with a Key to help you know what you are looking at.

I appreciated the full colour illustrations, as well as how they used colour to delineate different areas of the book.
As I read through this book I could see myself using it to teach a co-op class. The text was informative which makes the job a whole lot easier, having the 3D models makes it so handy to view and understand. My lad enjoyed going through the book, I have to admit, he focused on the 3D pages more than the rest (less reading you know) but he overall liked the book. "It gives good details mom" and "I like how the pop-ups show more than one layer mom".
Raincoast Books generously provided with 3D Explorer, Human Body to review, I found it VERY interesting, and if purchasing it would find it good value for the money. It is suitable for ages 7 and up, but the technical language may need to be read as it does talk about endrocrine, pariental etc. Using the correct terminology it's a book I will pull out again next year with my lad as we cover some specific aspect of how the human body works.
