Product reviews...
Far, FAR more detailed than the previous book, this book has no interactive compnents, but does contain a lot more detailed information and diagrams, including in-depth explainations of the reproductive systems, which perhaps make it more suitable for the 10-14 year old age bracket.
Extremely involved, this book has detailed illustrations of the structure and morphology of the body, from the smallest cell up to the largest organ.
All in all, a superior reference book, I think most suitable for the pre-teen to early-teen age bracket.
