Royston, Angela. What’s Inside My Body? A First Guide to the Wonders and Workings of the Human Body. New York: Dorling Kindersley, 1991. Specialized

Angela Royston’s What’s Inside My Body? is a children’s specialty book, for ages 4-8. The title of the book was designed to capture a child’s interest and natural curiosity. It is formatted with simple text, annotations, and excellent pictures of the human body, using real children models. The great thing about the illustrations is that they start out with a real photo of a real child, followed by an image of an interior body part super-imposed over the child’s body. So each page a child can see a part of a person’s body on the outside, and what organs, or bones or veins are like on the inside. This is an outstanding introduction to the human anatomy that is completely child friendly. This would be a great book for a pediatrician to keep in the waiting room!
