What Happens to a Hamburger? (Let's-Read-and-Find-Out Science 2) Paperback – Illustrated, May 8, 2001

My son was three years old when we got this, and it was almost impossible to get him to sit still for a story. But he absolutely loved this book and paid attention through the whole thing. I was amazed! And he absolutely loves the story, especially when we talk about what happens at the end of the digestive system.

My six-year-old daughter loves this book. I have read it to her and she has read it herself numerous times. My only wish is that the book did more to show what happens to unhealthy food once it enters your body. That's part of the reason that I got it for her, so she could understand why it is important to eat in a healthy way (and not gobble up treats that kids at her after-school and day camp offer her).

This book is about a diner cook who loves to eat healthy food and we find out what happens to that food in this well written and illustrated book by Paul Showers and Edward Miller. There are little experiments and up close photos of digestive organs which can delightfully gross out your child while one reads and learns about this important system of the body.My 4 year old daughter wants to be a doctor when she grows up so I am always on the look out for books about the body. I love all of the "Let's-Read-And-Find-Out Science" books and they have several very good books available regarding how the body works.

Has a great thought behind it but the picture of intestines etc are of poor quality which I think takes away from a short book like this and makes it hard for kids to really picture what is happening in their GI tracts.

Our 3 year old loves this. He wants it read every day. It is a great anatomy book for little ones that doesn't go into too much detail. The images are very well done and Jr loves to point out the body parts he has learned here to everybody. (For example: "Where are all your strawberries?" "They went in my esophagus and then my stomach. See?" (opens mouth)

This book has good content about digestion but it is so boring. We only read it one time because we had no interest in reading it again.I wouldn’t recommend this book.

My 3 (almost 4) year old LOVES this book - she thinks it's hilarious that food ends up as well, poop. We bought it as another tool in our arsenal of 'get this kid to poop' tools that we've accumulated over the past year or so. Very educational.

Love this book. Plan on using it for a STEM program with grade school age kids.

食べ物が口から入り排泄されるまでの消化の仕組みを分かりやすく説明しています。全ページに各器官がデフォルメされたイラストがありますが、胃や小腸・大腸の写真などが挿入されており、子供向けながらちょっぴり本格的な医学書の気分で読めます。「良い食べ物は良い体を作る」といいながら、ハンバーガーを食べているおじさんが、ちょっと笑えます。総語数は約900. SSSの難易度レベルは2.5程度.
