Book Information:
Halvorson, M.D., Karin. Inside the Ears. .2013. 32.pp. $22.95 hc. ABDO Publishing Company. 9781617836107.

Grade Level:
Recommended grades 2-4

Super Simple Body shows different parts of the eyes and ears in a new and unique way. Each book in the series contains a table of contents, key features, a “what’s happening”, and glossary.  The “what’s happening” sections explain the reasons of why the body part reacts a certain way when something happens, for example the reason the inside of your ear is shaped like a funnel is because it helps bring sound into your ears. The books are easy on the eyes and student friendly. The pages are not overwhelmed with information, and the pictures are simple to understand. In the texts the author provides a description how the body part functions, the parts of it and why it is important. The author also provides the reader with interactive activities to help understand the specific body part better. Overall the books give students a new perceptive on a very complex topic, making it easy to read and understand.

Highly Recommend.
