The Human Body (Ken Jennings’ Junior Genius Guides)

Even as an adult it was interesting. Easy to read, understand and informative. I’ll definitely read more! Greer for kids!

"It's interesting," says the 12 year old boy. He reads more than the average kid, and this is totally different than his usual choices. I'm a huge Ken Jennings fan so this is totally biased but I hope my son will give some of the other titles a chance.

My son (who is 8) LOVES the Junior Genius Guides. Ken Jennings spoke at our school in Seattle and I pre-ordered this book that very day! The trivia is great and easy for kids ages 8-10. It engages them and it is written in a way that they will remember. As a bonus, my son loves taking the quizzes at the end of the books to see if he is "a genius."

Purchased this for my 23 year old friend who has autism. She sometimes has trouble making the right choices where health is concerned. I thought if she understood how the body works, it might help. The book appealed to her "age" and she "liked this chapter book" My 10 year old nephew has enjoyed the whole series of books. Thumbs up!

I bought this book for my three grandchildren age 8,10 and almost 12, after consulting with the oldest one. He found the reading very interesting and at times hilarious, loved it; he found some especially interesting information there to remember. He reads a lot in general, from nature to fiction so he is not 'behind' age-wise. It also requires the intended reader to go to a dictionary for meaning of some scientific expressions; these are certainly in place there in the book. When I read most of the little book, I found it rather advanced for an 8 year old; but then, it is meant for the 'junior geniuses', isn't it.

All of the Junior Genius Guides that we have read so far have been wonderful. The books are full of facts that I didn't know as an adult, but presented in an entertaining manner kids can relate to (without being overly simple).This book appeals to a wide range of audiences. The nights we have a new Junior Genius Guide to read are the bedtimes / storytimes that I look forward to.

I bought this for my friend's curious 6 year old. He's been writing everyone bills of health after a grandparent's health scare. I thought it would be a good idea to turn it into a learning experience. Presented in a funny, informative and interesting way for kids.

Ken Jennings' junior genius guides are packed with tons of interesting facts. I read this along with maps and geography, U.S. presidents, greek mythology, and ancient egypt.
