Lauren's Rating: 2.8 out of 5 stars
This informational text talks all about the respiratory system. It describes the mechanisms of breathing, coughing and sneezing. It also explains the process of oxygen going into the body and carbon dioxide leaving the body.
This book was made for young children. It has very appealing colors, uses children as the pictures, and includes very short, simple sentences. The illustrations are photographs that are clear and of good quality. The content is challenging in itself, but the author made it easily readable and accessible for kids. It uses photographs of children and normal bodily functions, such as coughing, to help children be able to relate to this system. There is a glossary at the end of terms that can be utilized by the children. This is a great learning tool. This book would be great to use in a science class or to direct a child to read for more important about this system.

Wow introducing biology to young children like this is great! It's a friendly way to help them gain knowledge on different systems on the body. Parents, teachers, etc. would have to be careful on the level of the reader.
