I thought that this was an absolutely fantastic book to read!

The illustrations and images chosen were great and I loved the mix of facts that the book had

I read the book as an adult and found it really interesting so for me this would be a book for children aged 12 and above as there was quite a bit of scientific detail and facts compared to a normal DK book

It was a great way of learning as it was fun too - I loved the close ups as well

It is 5 stars from me for this one – very highly recommended!

We absolutely loved this book! We are science obsessed family and love to learn. We got to really use this book to its fullest, during activities and crafts with Ada, as we learned new facts and quirky features, of the human body. We loved relating it to space, other animals and much more. It really added to our lessons and activities, and Ada loved reading it together throughout the day, to learn the newest fact, and tell her friends and teachers.

It’s a great book for young ones who have a very inquisitive mind, who love science or just need something to push their minds a bit. It would make a brilliant Halloween or Christmas gift to be both fun and educational.

Fascinating book of human body facts. This is a must buy for any future aspiring doctors or nurses. Beautifully illustrated.

This book is perfect for younger students and adults alike. Packed with so much information but layed out in an easy to follow way. Text is to the point but interesting.
Amazing graphics. I personally loved the photos from the electron microscopes. A perfect gift for any child.
Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC

I love DK books and this one didn't disappoint! To start with the cover is catchy. I love how the book is set out in sections. The colours are all bright, the illustrations are cool and the facts are amazing! This book is definitely one for the bookshelf. Thank you for the opportunity to read and review this book.

This is highly pictorial, as pretty much all DK books are, well produced, as pretty much all DK books are... and yet not really pitched right. I guess it's still for children, but for an older audience than their normal well-illustrated books, and it's blatantly trying to convey science through the wacky data, the factoid to befuddle and the allusion to amaze. But do I live any better now I know that all the head hair from one human lifetime, laid end to end, would stretch from London to Berlin? Not a blind bloody bit – and I am a sucker for the good bit of trivia. "If your cells were as big as a grain of rice you'd be the size of the Empire State Building" - no, you'd be dead, love. "A lifetime's wee fills a seven-metre long swimming pool." I'm sorry but that's the most one-dimensional factoid out there.

This, then, is titillation for teens – and not a good variety of it, either. Could have been so much better.

Amazing facts about the human body written in concise sentences and accompanied by lots and lots of colorful diagrams, illustrations, infographics and some stunning electron microscope images.

Children and adults alike will enjoy this book. In fact, it would make a wonderful book for a parent to go through together with a young child. Really a marvellous addition for a home library.

I would have appreciated some info about the writers’ credentials or a bibliography of resources though. But still a most impressive publication.

Love it!
