Hi Everyone,
Im trying to find some kid friendly human body books or resources that are relaitively detailed? Anyone using anything?

I just had a glimpse at the book called Human body by basher.
http://basherbooks.com/uk/aboutbooks.html
It says recommended age 10+. The font was big, simple sentences and pictures. Check out if it suits you.
The Flip Flap body book http://www.amazon.com/Flip-Flap-Body-Book-Flaps/dp/0794506186/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1306415933&sr=8-1 I used with my 3 year old and she gained a lot from it and it was fun. It is quite detailed though does not cover the whole body - it does the digestive system, having a baby and the senses.

I also got my son a toy replica of the skull and human skeleton (which is a pretty accurate recreation). It is by Ein-O. They also have other models. Check them out here:

We bought a human body book which is probably a little too advanced for him right now, but I just show him the pictures and talk him through it making references back to other stuff we’ve seen in simpler books.
For some reason I could not connect to this link to post it last night. But it worked today :biggrin:

There is a really cute stuffed human body model out of velcro with removable organs, I know I shared it a while back. Let me look through and try to find it for you.
