The nervous system is a complex network of nerves that allows you to experience the world around you. Children will find out how nerves carry messages to the brain so that people can do things like jump and eat.
These books take difficult concepts and explain them clearly and concisely. Each title provides enough detail for a basic understanding of the topic and begins with an overview, “What Is the...?” Other chapters explore the parts of the system (e.g., joints, the heart), and ways to keep it healthy. “Fun Facts” present “wow” information that readers will want to share. The color illustrations often combine photographs of children with diagrams and detailed lifelike pictures of the body system. These titles have more detail than those in the “My Body” series.
