(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Haslam. Very basic information about the human body is introduced in double-page spreads. Beginning with the skin ("Skin stretches over your fingers...It mends cuts and scrapes"), moving through major organs, senses, and ending with life stages, the approachable, large-font text is accompanied by bright, humorous cartoon illustrations. A picture "summary" and word quizzes are appended; the jacket is a foldout poster.
