"Janice VanCleave loves to teach kids about science. She's the award-winning author of more than 30 books, including the bestselling 'Science for Every Kid' and 'Spectacular Science Projects' series." Source: The book's back cover. The illustrator, Michele Nidenhoff, has illustrated multiple children's books and her work has appeared in various magazines and educational publications.

'Why are my bones hard?' and 'How much breath do I have?'" Source: Summary from the title page.

The appendix has section summaries for categories of the body, such as skin, circulation, digestion, etc. A glossary is provided and the book is well indexed.… (meer)
