My 4 year old loves it when we read the Smithsonian series to him. It is an easy enough read to read a page with our child and then discuss what everything means, but it definitely doesn’t “dumb things down”. It’s nice to read a book to my kid that I can also learn a lot from. Lots of valuable information in a small, concise book for all ages. Review: These are very informational and perfect for kids - These are very informational and perfect for kids. My 9 year old absolutely loves them! Some of the medical books (heart, bones, brain) are a bit out of reach for my 4 year old and 6 year old, but they still listen and love looking at the pictures. Great, great, great books!

Excellent resource and seller
This is exactly the book I needed, and the price was out of this world. It was nice to have a seller who responded to my purchase almost immediately. I'll definitely purchase from them again.

Daughter (9) read it cover to cover
Perfect reading level, interesting for my daughter, and informative. I was hearing random facts for the next few days. She couldn't put it down.

Great book!
Great book for the recommended age group. My 83 year old father was recently diagnosed with dementia as well as some physical problems. He had questions regarding the physical part but due to the dementia, he was unable to comprehend more detailed texts so his doctor suggested I look into children's books. I was pleasantly surprised to find this book met our needs.

Awesome teaching tool for science geeks
My third grader understood the content, learned new anatomy and vocabulary, and was so interested in learning more we got out my college anatomy and physiology book to see more detailed diagrams and images. We then went to the local library to borrow more books from the series.
