This is a book of the simple descriptive format that is very successful with young children learning to speak.

Some of the descriptions are, even for young kids, funny - ears are for holding glasses up, knees are for lots of bandages. Others are more useful - noses are for smelling with, eyes are for seeing.

But I find the illustrations a little off (I don't know why, it's nothing I can really explain), and I don't find that it really grabs the attention of my young nieces, nor of other small children I've read it to.

I also find the size of the book a little awkward for putting away.

Interesting for a single read, but I doubt it would hold a preschooler's attention much more than that. I liked the varying descriptions (though maybe things like "noses are for smelling spring flowers" could have come before "noses are for sniffing and blowing"!).

Cute

Cute details and fun way to explain the body to kids. I liked all the artistic choices the author made.
