I’m very impressed with how well this book is written and illustrated. My boys are both obsessed with human anatomy. After going to their pediatrician, who let them listen to their heartbeats with a stethoscope, they have both been fascinated by the heart. Their favorite pictures are on the page comparing the chambers of a heart to the rooms in a house. Such a cute and creative analogy! Lots of very relevant medical content in this book as well, and I think most adults will learn something new. I actually had no idea how coronary angioplasty and stenting worked in treating clogged arteries until I read this book. So cool!
My nephews love these books! The pictures are so well done and colors are very vibrant. I love that the book covers the anatomy of the heart as well as different diseases and diagnostic tests such as the EKG and echocardiogram. I also think it’s very important that it teaches about heart murmurs, which many kids with congenital heart disease have. Incredible book!
Great educational book
This is a great resource for kids to understand about the heart. I bought it for my grandchildren after their mom was diagnosed with a heart condition so that they can better understand what is happening with her. I’m glad there is a book that can address their questions in an age appropriate manner.
Good book but came creased
Best learning book
This book has great visuals for making the information easier for kids to understand.
The book was extremely informative it helped me explain my son's heart condition to his older brother who is only a year older my son is 4 great read
This book does a very good job at introducing big words for children. It introduces the chambers and the difference between vains and arteries. My pre-k class loved it! I was surprised they could sit through challenging book but this book was fun!
Very educational book for kids. Never too early to start.
Beautiful book, perfect for people of all ages. Really enjoyed the illustrations, the easy to follow narrative. My 5 year old nephew loves it as well! Definitely a must buy for anyone interested in learning about the heart in a fun cute way!
My son has been obsessed with the neurology and dermatology for kids in the series! He was asking for the “heart” one for ages so when I saw they had the cardiology for kids out, I know I just had to get it. They are so fun and educational so that he loves reading them over and over even though some concepts were quite advanced for him.
My husband and I are both physicians, and we absolutely love this book. We’ve gotten tons of educational books for our 3-year-old, including books about dinosaurs, trucks, planets, and human anatomy, and this is one of his favorites. Ever since reading this, he’s taken a lot more interest in playing with his toy stethoscope and listening to his little brother’s heart (which is adorable)! The book is very well-written and teaches kids an impressive amount of medical information, including about the different types of heart failure and how a heart attack is treated. It also teaches kids about the symptoms of a heart attack and the importance of calling 911 if they think someone might be having one. This is a must-have book for kids with any interest in learning about the human body.
