Lift The Flap Questions & Answers Body Hardcover – January 1, 2013

Great flip book series. The flips in each page are well designed!

And now that he's learning to read, he loves it even more.

My kids love flap books & this one is really neat. Very well made, sturdy flaps and lots of fun info.

very cute informational book

This is a great book. The snippets of information presented are useful and informative....and the manner in which they are presented (hidden behind flaps) make this a fun activity for the young audience for which the book was written. I purchased it for my 3 1/2 year old. I think it is great for her both now and in the future as some of the information will be better absorbed in a year or two. Great book to have in a child's library. Sound purchase.

Title: Lift-the-Flap: Questions and Answers About Your BodyAuthor: Katie DaynesIllustrator: Marie-Eve TremblayGenre: Non-fiction Picture BookAge: 4 and up (although I think it would depend on the 4 year old whether or not they would sit for this whole book)Is This Part of a Series?: Yes (there are several pages of Lift-the-Flap books and at least six Questions and Answers books)*I purchased a copy of this bookSummary:This isn't your typical book-for-review type of book. Their is no story, chapters, or beginning, middle, or end. Instead, it is a non-fiction book centered around questions (who, what, where, when, why, how, and yes or no) centered around the theme of "your body." There's a great variety of questions (like does everyone snore, is my heart shaped like a heart, and when do babies learn to walk) and some cute illustrations that cover the pages from edge to edge.Overall Impression:I think it's a fun book. I loved the illustrations and the collection of questions and even learned a few things myself (such as what percentage of people can touch their tongues to their noses!). My kids also enjoyed it and have been through it about three times so far.The Nitty Gritty:This book has some great information to share and it presents it in a super cute way, both because of the questions that are asked and the illustrations that accompany the questions. My favorite question was in the yes or no section (Can I pick my nose if nobody is watching?) because of the honesty in the answer (Yes, but you shouldn't, and here's why...). Kids shouldn't ever be talked down to, and this question highlights the fact that Usborne Books & More believes the same thing. This is especially important when it comes to non-fiction books. When you talk down to kids, you underestimate their intelligence, risk making them self-conscious or embarrassed about asking questions (and in the case of this particular book, their body), and can make reading less fun. This book doesn't run any of those risks. The pictures and flaps are engaging, the answers are honest, and they subject matter frankly covers everything from dreams to body hair to excrement.Book Club Chatter:Whenever you are reading a book to a child, it is super important to help them connect to the book. Non-fiction books are no exception to this idea: the better a connection the children have to the book, the better they understand, learn, and remember what they are reading. While these aren't strictly book club style questions, here are a few ideas of how to help your child connect to the material in this book:--Any time the book mentions the size of something, help them to visualize that: if it references their fist (as in the size of a heart), have them hold up their fist. Hold yours up and compare them. Etc. This makes things very personal and concrete.--If the book mentions a developmental milestone--such as when a baby begins to walk--talk about when the child started walking, or when you did.--Probably the best thing you can do for you child is to follow the conversation where ever it happens to wander.--It is also good to note that this is an "Internet linked" book, meaning that there is a webpage for this book, with links to other websites, games, videos, and articles that have to do with the topic of the book (in this case the body)My Rating: 5 StarI am pretty sure this book will stick around our house for quite a while, being read many times in the process. And as is the case with other UBAM books I have encountered so far, it is a sturdy enough book to last through many years--and probably be useable as a good quality hand-me-down when we are ready to get rid of it.www.busybusybookwyrm.wordpress.com

Its cute... but the questions don't seem very thoughtful and the answers seem dumbed down... I don't understand why they shy away from using the proper terms for things like saying the food goes down your throat instead of using the word esophagus... my son is 3 and he loves learning about the human body. I was hoping this book would aid in that but its really more of a toy. Cute pictures though... glad they show POC as well... for that reason alone its getting 3 stars.

Kids love these very educational

My daughter loves this book and has learned a lot. Perfect for inquisitive children who love to question everything

Es didáctico, interesante, de buena calidad y recomendable

I bought it for my kids and they love it!
