(4) K-3 Pop-ups, pull-tabs, and lift-the-flaps abound in this book's five spreads presenting information about the human circulatory and respiratory systems. Some pop-ups obscure text, requiring readers to bend (and weaken) them. The facts are accurate, but they're scattered around the pages, behind flaps, and under foldouts; there's little cohesion though a good deal of fun.
