Customer Reviews

For kids of all ages and for diverse interests

This is the best-beloved book in our house. Our scientific-minded 5 year-old loves the body parts, my engineer/husband loves the machines and my humanities-trained mind loves the historical diagrams of castles and galleons. Don't buy one copy- buy two for when the first is read to disintegration.

A book we go back to again and again!

The age range of 9-12 for this book is too narrow. It is a favorite among ALL of our family members! With a book store gift card in hand, our newly-turned five-year-old picked this book himself above all others to bring home... and it has remained a favorite of his a year and a half later. Mom and Dad even enjoy pouring over this book with him WHENEVER he asks, and we have all learned a lot. Highly recommend this book to people of all ages!

It REALLY IS the Coolest Cross-Sections Ever!

We absolutely love this book and so glad it is in our home library. It is on our coffee table and continually poured over. I think this book will be timeless in this family. We love the detail, the layout, the insight and depth it gives on a topic in such an approachable way. Beautifully illustrated and presented. I think it deserves more than just 5 points. It is a winner.
