Jump on board and take a ride around the human body on our read-aloud, rollicking rollercoaster.

This book is bursting with energy and fun - the perfect way to introduce your enthusiastic little one to a key school topic.

Roller-coaster Ride Around the Body has been designed to promote learning through imagination and humour, building visual and auditory memory, in addition to stimulating questioning and enquiry skills. It is particularly suitable for reading together with pre-school children, individually and in groups, and as a starting point for physical-led expression.

This is the perfect book for an inquisitive child who wants to learn more about the human body. There is lots of information contained within the book and it is displayed in many different ways. There is lots of imaginative prose throughout the book, inviting the reader to take a journey throughout the human body - comparing body shape, colour and ability, while also answering those questions that trouble a child's mind e.g. what is spit for or what are bogies for? The book can be dipped in and out of as questions arise and will be great for school biology topics. It will make a great addition to any resource shelf, school library or for the country's future doctors.

Thank you to the publishers, Orchard Books, for sending me the book in return for an honest review.
