Perfect for readers who are curious about the body and for any kid who loves learning and science.Featuring beloved characters from Dr. Seusss The Cat in the Hat, the Learning Library are unjacketed hardcover picture books that explore a range of nonfiction topics about the world we live in and include an index, glossary, and suggestions for further reading. From School Library Journal PreSchool-K--This installment in the series appears at first glance to be a useful overview of the human body. However, while the text flows in a pleasant Seuss-like way and the colorful artwork will please fans of The Cat in the Hat, some of the information is just plain wrong. For example, the statement that there are soft bones in your nose is incorrect; the nose is actually made up of cartilage. In another section, the text asserts that in our stomachs theres food we ate three days ago. Food generally passes through the stomach in a matter of hours; it may take days to eliminate from the body, but the stomach empties relatively quickly. The heart is described as the biggest muscle in the body, but the gluteus maximus is actually the largest. For a better treatment of the subject for beginning readers, try Shelley Rotner and Stephen Calcagninos The Body Book (Orchard, 2000) or Barbara Seulings From Head to Toe (Holiday, 2002).--Christine A.
