K-3Inside Your Body series.
In a calm and reassuring tone, simple texts cover the basics of these common maladies and injuries: causes, symptoms, treatment, prevention, etc. Medical terms are included; glossary words are in bold, while other words are defined matter-of-factly within the text (e.g., anaphylaxis is described as "a very serious allergic reaction"). Plentiful bright photographs and a few cartoon graphics round out the straightforward presentations. Glos. Review covers these Inside Your Body titles: All About Allergies, All About Broken Bones, All About Colds, All About Cuts and Bruises, All About Ear Infections, and All About Sore Throats.
