This picture book begins as an upbeat paean to fitness but quickly launches into comprehensive explanations of the human body's structure (skeleton and muscles) and systems (nervous, respiratory, digestive), complete with detailed diagrams. The cheerful illustrations of active children are appealing, but the information may be over the heads of the intended audience.
