The ABCs of You Randall Bjork

This A-to-Z guide to human anatomy introduces kids to their bodies using medically correct terminology.

Written for children ages six through thirteen, The ABCs of You demystifies the medical lexicon, helps expand vocabularies, and offers a unique, kid-friendly window into how their bodies and minds function.

Here, each letter of the alphabet stands for a selected anatomical, physiological, or philosophical concept that is summarized on a single page-with a corresponding illustration on the adjacent page. The book is meant for children to read with an adult present to answer questions as they arise-and they most certainly will. After all, The ABCs of You is meant to stimulate interest in the field of medicine.

Children will be fascinated by the odd names of body parts like the frenulum, which connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth, and the zygomata, or cheekbones. They'll learn where these body parts are located and what they do-along with some fun facts and some healthy habits associated with them.

Providing straight talk about body functions, including several items about the nervous system, The ABCs of You is infused with whimsy, humor, and most importantly, love.
