The Lick and Sniff Reviews: Inside the Human Body

You know, ever since I first laid eyes on my owner I wondered, how does he get around in that big 'ol body of his? How does that body work - mainly support all that weight. All cheap shots at my owner aside, a new book we received this week gave us both a little more information about how the human body works.
The book is called Discoverology: Human Body. This book contains very detailed illustrations and explanatory text about the different parts and systems of the human body. But the coolest part, by far, was the many interactive and three-dimensional models that are included throughout this book. Each page contains an interactive aspect of some sort. There are tabs to pull that move body parts, foldout posters, tabs to lift up and look inside a specific part (the model of the brain and skull was easily my favorite).

Models include:

A pop up skull with flaps that reveal the brain inside
A pop up skeleton
A movable set of lungs that show breathing
A pop up intestine (umm...yummy)
A pull tab of growing hair and more

This is a very cool book to have in a library. Although I can see some students sniggering and laughing at the page about the human reproductive system. The 3D replicas and models will have kids captivated for a while as it seems that there is always something new to pull or turn. I enjoyed looking through the colorful illustrations and photos. A very informational book.

Four biscuits for this one, simply because the models are fantastic. For a four legged creature who doesn't know much about this human body that sits around the house all day and blames me for the strange noises and smells that periodically make themselves known, this was a very interesting and exciting book.
I found the perfect place in this book to hide my jerky treat (right behind the frontal lobe of the brain model) so I think I'm going to go and smuggle that treat so I can find it later. So long for now!
