Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

Gr 1-3-A revision of a 1968 book. Keller's illustrations and Showers's text complement one another well, and will give young readers a good introduction to how the heart works. Three simple activities (measuring heart rate, exercising the heart, and making a stethoscope) are easy but effective ways to augment the text. The writing is succinct and clear. The simple line illustrations include a minimum of detail yet they reflect the action and convey different emotions effectively. The illustrations of the structure of the heart are well done, resulting in a good overview for beginning readers.-Christine A. Moesch, Buffalo & Erie County Public Library, NY

I read this at our local Public Library for story time and the 4 year olds were able to grasp many of the concepts of how the heart works. Though I would recommend this book for at least 6 yr. olds on up..

I bought this a few years ago for my friend's son who was scheduled for heart surgery to correct a defect. He apparently loved it. This year he had to go back for some follow-up procedures -- he took the book to show his doctors and nurses what he knew about his heart. Such a cool kid. Apparently the nurses and doctors thought it was a great book too! I was very happy to learn that it helped this great kid handle a scary procedure a bit better.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting little book

I'm an ICU nurse. Bought this for my 6 year old daughter who is always interested in the body and looking at my medical books. I like this book because I'm nerdy, but it is quite heavy in complexity for a 6 year old. Also, the pictures are a little creepy. Still a really awesome book though. I love medical/anatomy/physiology books for kids.

It's a good book. Nice story and explains things well. With that said, my son has read it once and not read it again, so he doesn't seem as interested.

I almost returned this book because I didn't personally enjoy it. But my 5 year old daughter found it before I did and insisted I read it to her. She LOVES reading about the heart and she loves this book. I also purchased a kid's stethoscope which works well enough and we have fun listening to each other's and to our pets' hearts.

For February I wanted to teach our 4 year old grandson about his own heart. This book was wonderful introduction, and then we used our stethoscope and listened to his heart, little brother's heart, grandparent hearts, and his dog's heartbeat. Great learning and fun!
