Description
The Animal Body Book is a friendly introduction to animal anatomy, perfect for any child fascinated by animals or budding veterinarians.
With nine chapters covering skeletons, circulation, digestion, the senses and more, every aspect of anatomy is covered, all clearly explained by animal expert Dr Jess French. Animals perform extraordinary feats every day, from breathing underwater to flying, but how do they do these amazing things? The answers lie in the miraculous forms and features of their bodies.
This fascinating animal anatomy book for kids offers:
- Detailed but child-friendly illustrations of animal biology on every page.
- Information by animal expert and children’s TV presenter Jess French.
- First of its kind material focusing on animal biology for children aged 5-9.
- 9 chapters which break down different anatomy, covering: skeletons, muscles, circulation, breathing, digestion, the senses, reproduction, skin, and invertebrates.
From a whale's enormous heart and an owl's sensitive ears, to a tortoise's tough shell and an insect's unusual eyes, explore more than 40 animal adaptations in close detail. Vivid photography combined with annotated illustrations reveal what each species looks like inside, and colorful diagrams help support children’s understanding of animal anatomy.

My seven-year-old son is obsessed with animals and this book was the perfect next step for his knowledge. He already knows a lot of general animal knowledge from his animal books, but this book gives the appropriate amount of information on how those animals' bodies actually work. We will be buying a physical copy of this book to add to his collection for sure!

What a cool way to get kids interested in anatomy. Animal books are always super popular. The pictures are beautiful and the graphics are interesting and informative. Evern if they don't mean to, anyone reading this will learn something about their own body too.
Thank you NetGalley fort the ARC. I will purchase for my library.

We have made it 3/4 of the way through this read.
We loved this! My littles are into anything animal and science. We like to read informational books that are fun but also giving my littles exposure to learning as well. For example, this book has great illustrations and breaks down the information easily so that it is easier to understand and we can take our time going from one section to the next. When the kids are entertained and learning, its a plus.
Thank you NetGalley, Jess French, and DK Children for allowing my family to review.
