The Scholastic Science Readers series was created especially to bring exciting nonfiction to beginning readers. Each book combines easy-to-read text with outstanding photographs to give kids an introduction to their favorite topics. Nature comes alive within the covers of these full-color books. Special Take a Look boxes give kids a closer look at the natural world, the inside of a wolf's den, an X-ray of a hand, or a close-up of a bat's fur. Each book includes an easy activity that a child can do for further exploration.

Scholastic Science Readers: The Human Body is a very simple introduction to the major parts of the human body and how they work together to keep us alive, including basic explanations of the five senses, the brain, muscles and bones, digestion, and respiration.
