Product Description
The Uncover series combines the best elements of a book with model elements to help readers truly "uncover" the mysteries of what makes things work. A fascinating three-dimensional presentation allows in-depth, hands-on exploration of the subject at hand. This unique "model" is easily built, deconstructed and re-built layer by layer, system by system just by turning a page, until an understanding of the topic is achieved. The complexities of the human body can be daunting, particularly for children. This book-model combination takes some of the mystery out of how the body works. It covers all the major systems and processes. Children get to look at each system on a different page, then by closing the book, combine them into a whole.

A great book October 6, 2008 My two sons, ages 4 and 5y, love this book. It is great hands on exploring and explains the body in layers to help make it clearer. My parents also enjoyed this book!
love it September 29, 2008 My daughter is 2 1/2 and is facinated with anatomy. She loves how this book "peels" away the layers!
Great for younger kids too! May 2, 2008 My daughter at age 6 received this book as a gift from her uncle. She wasn't interested in it at all. Surprisingly, my son (age 3 at the time) grabbed it and has been coveting it for a year now.
A year has gone by and the book (minus a few pieces) is still in good shape, and best of all. At age 4, my son knows the name of every organ and it's location.
The only issue for younger kids is that the small organs can break off so I wouldn't recommend it for kids younger then 3.
Inaccurate because the plastics veins are sticking out of the body April 26, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I thought this would be neat because of the rave reviews. I see where the concept is nice, but it is inaccurate. For my kindergartener, I think a transparency would be more ideal. I wish someone would recommend something.
Not quite anatomically correct October 18, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This is one of my 8 year-old's favorite books: she asked for it when she was 6 and is constantly rereading it. Now that she is a very scientific 8 year old, and has other books in the Uncover series, she has raised questions as to why the reproductive system is included in the tarantula book but not in the human body book. She would also like to know whether the body is a boy's or a girl's, because she cannot tell and thinks that's strange. I think these are good questions in a book designed for ages 8 and up. But I couldn't give it less than five stars because she loves it so and has learned so much from it.
