Reviews

The book is excellent to teach children the basics of, and the importance of, their lungs. It also has further reading suggestions an comprehensive index at the end of the book so it is excellent for class projects. Colourful and with short paragraphs to help the young reader maintain engagement I would highly recommend this book for the school library.

This book is very colourful and has great pictures and decorated fun facts! The facts are basic yet intriguing and interesting. Did you know the lung is a popular meal?
