Human body: A children's encyclopedia by Richard Walker et al.
DK: Penguin Random House, 2019. ISBN: 9780241323069.
Highly recommended. Themes: Human Biology; Health. Dorling
Kindersley non-fiction publications are always brilliantly
presented, and this book is no exception. With exceptional clarity,
the intricate detail of the way the human body functions is
explained in language suitable for younger readers. Utilising small
text boxes of information; amazing photographic and scientific
diagrams and illustrations; and the occasional 'Wow!' bubble of
information, the format is very visually appealing and will be
enjoyed as a reference source for young readers.
[Note: The 'Life Cycle' Chapter is sensitively presented with detail
that is appropriate for a youthful audience. With a greater emphasis
on growth and change and genetics, rather than multiple pictures of
anatomy or genitalia, this is not a book that will need to be looked
at with adult supervision and libraries with younger students can be
comfortable with the content.]
Highly recommended as a reference text for young readers interested
in Biological Science.
