Life on Earth: Human Body by Heather Alexander

Life on Earth: Human Body is the perfect introduction to anatomy and biology for 5+ year-olds.   Lift the flaps to find the answers to common questions, such as, ‘What do I need to stay healthy?’, ‘How often does my heart beat?’ and ‘Why do I have hairs up my nose?’ With 100 questions and 70 flaps to lift, Life on Earth: Human Body provides the perfect way to keep engaged while learning. Topics covered include the senses, the skeleton, nerves and muscles, how illness works and keeping fit, among many more. Scientific details are turned into simple, bitesize facts that the reader lifts the flaps to discover. Heather Alexander’s colourful illustrations make each fact memorable, and the sturdy, boardbook format means that even the most hands-on learners will have fun playing with the book day after day.   Perfect to read out loud to your toddler, or to let them explore on their own, Life on Earth: Human Body offers a fun, interactive way into science for little readers. Be sure to check out the rest of the Life on Earth series: Ocean, Jungle, Dinosaurs, Things That Go, Planet Earth, Space and Farm.
