Stickmen's Guide to Your Mighty Muscles and Bones by John Farndon and Venitia Dean is well-written with clear text and illustrations. The diagrams are labeled well and easy to understand. Children will enjoy the interesting diagrams throughout the book. The book contains a large about of information that is presented in a way that is accessible by the reader. An illustrated timeline shows the history of muscle and bone is fascinating. It has an added bonus of providing a sense of how understanding of our skeletal system grows. The timeline also provides extra information about muscles and bones.  

I recommend this book for anyone interested in learning more about the human body and how it works. 

I received this ARC from NetGalley and Lerner Publishing Group and Hungry Tomato in exchange for an honest review.

I find this book well done. It has the right mix of illustrations and real pictures to keep things intrequiging. The illustrator also uses stick figures at strategic places to add some fun.

Although the text is top-heavy with labels and new vocabulary, the book is well-supported with clearly written text and illustrations. Diagrams are clearly labeled and easy to understand. In fact, it is quite interesting to study the various diagrams. A great deal of information is presented in a very accessible way. An illustrated timeline showing the history of muscle and bone is interesting and provides a sense of how understanding of our skeletal system grew, and an assortment of "muscly and bony facts" adds additional information. Above all, I really appreciate all those diagrams. They are fascinating to study.
