What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book is entirely secular and scientific. It briefly mentions the role of white blood cells in fighting germs and the function of platelets in clotting cuts, but the tone remains clinical and upbeat rather than scary or graphic.
Ideal Reader
An 8 to 10 year old student who enjoys 'Magic School Bus' style storytelling but is ready for more detailed diagrams and a slightly higher vocabulary level. It is perfect for the child who loves 'how it works' videos.
