Gr 4-6-Seymour Skinless, an illustrated white scientist who wears glasses and a lab coat, guides readers through a tour of various parts of the human body. The text is divided into manageable chunks and supported by headings and captions. There are multiple photos, diagrams, and other illustrations to facilitate comprehension. Cell structures, how a broken bone heals, and blood types are just some of the topics covered. Seymour explains, makes jokes, and points out details throughout the narrative. Boldface vocabulary terms are defined in the glossary. Extra facts not covered in the main text are listed on the final page. VERDICT Perfect for browsing or for biology lessons. A useful addition that will be popular with students.
