Professor Astro Cat's Human Body Odyssey: 3

Professor Astro Cat is off on another amazing journey- this time to explore the wonders of the human body. The book starts by explaining what biology is and identifying the seven characteristics of living things.Professor Astro Cat and his team then seek to answer all manner of questions about the human body and how it works from your cells to your ears to your heart to genetics. The book also looks at some quite complex bodily functions- the lymphatic system, the endocrine system, the immune system and genetics. Each area is carefully explained with clear illustrations to support the text. The book also looks at reproduction and keeping healthy before finishing with impairments and future science. From start to finish, it's a fascinating read with fabulous illustrations.Covering many of the areas of study for KS2 science, 'Professor Astro Cat's Human Body Odyssey' would be a welcome addition to any classroom as a reference tool and for examples of explanation writing.A 'factoroids' section offers some gems- I had no idea ear wax is unique- and a glossary/ index clearly explains terms used throughout the book. Excellent stuff!

Up to the high standard set by the other Astrocat books... our daughter loves them. This is an American edition though, maybe a UK english version hasn't emerged yet, but the rest of our collection is UK editions so it was a slight surprise.

We love Professor Astrocat! Brilliant illustrations and real, useful, in depth information that is easily digested by young minds due to the well thought out explanations and comparisons (and great for older minds who didn't pay enough attention at school too!). We will be buying more in the series.

This was great for my girlfriends kids. They don't enjoy school so much sometimes but found this really had them engaged!

Such a wonderful book, got for my 7 & 10 year old, both really enjoy reading these. Full of beautiful illustrations and engaging facts, in A gorgeous hard cover that has the bonus of looking great on the bookshelf! We have got the whole collection as we love them so much!
