My Very First Body Book: A Timberdoodle Review




I  am incredibly excited to be telling you about this wonderful book! From the first moments of my son opening up the Timberdoodle box, he excitedly squealed over the bright colors and immediately wanted me to read My Very First Body Book to him. 

We are big fans of Usborne books, and this was no exception.  This was a great addition to our curriculum this year, as we didn't have anything that was specifically 'health' related. 


Each page is filled with information on the human body and how it functions, but never feels too 'wordy', as it's broken up into sections. The formatting and bright illustrations helped keep my son's interest, the whole way through!

Something else I appreciated is that they kept the 'people' in the book very vague and a solid color. It never felt inappropriate or above a preschool/kindergartners level.

My son's favorite page? The one about pooping of course! This is done very well, and merely states matter of factly how our digestive system works. My son was mesmerized, but still giggled a little at the end. He is all boy!

The book covers the skeletal system, muscles, organs, how our body ages, and so much more, yet it stays within its 3+ level. This would be a great jumping point to get your kids interested in learning more about the human body.

Something else I appreciated about this book was that the pages were hard and almost indestructible. This is great when Baby Girl wants to look through the brightly illustrated pages too!





You can click here to see more details of this wonderful book. It is also part of the complete Preschool Curriculum that Timberdoodle puts together. I love that it puts the guess work out of making sure you've covered everything you are supposed to for that grade level. I have loved everything that Timberdoodle has recommended thus far!

I have also added a few items that I would recommend for continuing to study the human body. As usual, these links are affiliate. Anything you purchase I will get a small compensation.
Happy studying!
