I thought the design of the book was brilliant! The illustrations were very colourful and eye-catching, with a great mixture of real-life photographs and graphics. The different parts of the human body were described in detail and in language I could read. Every single page in the book had some kind of graphic hidden behind a flap or it had a moving part that could demonstrate the topic on the page. It was just fabulous!
    Once I opened the book, I couldn’t put it down. We just learned about some parts of the human body in school and the book taught me even more. I learned some really interesting things on the senses and scientists’ belief that there is a more powerful sixth sense. Just read the book to find out what it might be. Also, did you know that a person’s brain can work faster and more effectively than any computer ever built?
     I really, really enjoyed reading this book, with all its wheels and gadgets. It was so much fun I really don’t know that there was anything I didn’t like about it. A particularly good section was titled “The World in View”. It talked about how we see colour and what it means to be colour blind. There was even a pair of 3-D glasses attached to the page that you could remove to view the various samples they had in the book.
     On a scale of one to ten, I would give the book a nine because I don’t know what a perfect book would be, but I think this is the best book I’ve ever read and I’ve read a lot of books!
