Toddler-Gr 1–Let small children put on their detective hats and start decoding the human body in this engaging board book. Each spread features a child explaining a problem they are experiencing in their body on the lefthand page, with the solution revealed under an interactive panel on the right. “My mouth and throat feel dry and sticky. My lips are getting chapped. My body signals tell me that I am feeling… Thirsty.” The interactive riddles, pull-tabs, and lively illustrations make keep this moving right along.
VERDICT Sure to fascinate toddlers through very early elementary children, this title a must-have for most libraries.
