Kids are curious about everything including their own bodies and other peoples’ bodies. One of our favorite ways to learn about the human body is by reading books.
The list of 15 Picture Books About the Human Body are perfect for read-alouds. Some books are great for budding readers who are just beginning to practice reading on their own or with someone. While others are for more seasoned readers. The books range from being about the basic parts of the body like eyes and hands to actually anatomy and physiology of the body.
The first eight books focus on basic parts of the body and things those parts do and are perfect for babies and preschoolers. The next three dives a bit deeper into the body and are great for young elementary kids (preschool – 1st grade). While the last four are for older kids and get in-depth into the anatomy and physiology of the body.
