This book is about the circulatory system, the body system that carries oxygen to all the organs. The author writes about the heart, veins, blood cells, capillaries, arteries, blood pressure, clotting, oxygenation, and plague. I like this book because it is written from the point of view of a little miniscule man who travels in the body of a young girl to teach us the pathway of blood. The miniscule man and the girl exchange funny conversations throughout the book, which keeps it engaging. The end of the book also comes with a glossary, which is a fantastic text feature for students to learn about and use in their reading. I would use this as a read-aloud in different chunks. This book has a lot of information, which might be best split into different lessons. I could also provide this book in the library or featured books section in the classroom. I would include this book in a unit about the human body in intermediate elementary or higher. I think this book might even be really good for high school students and college students to refresh their memory about the circulatory system. ( )

This book would be good for a unit discussing different systems that occur in nature and make it relevant to them with their own body. Students would then be able to write their own stories relating to how if they had an adventure through the circulatory system they would see with the vocab they had learned from the unit. To make it more culturally responsive you could visually along with the book have a traffic problem where they have to notice and wonder how the systems may be connected. ( )

This book takes a tour of the circulatory system through the eyes of a mini guide who goes through the cycle, while the process is described in text. ( )

It is a good example of informational book because it explains the circulatory in our body.
There are three kinds of blood vessels, hungry body cells and the the four chambers of the heart. The heart beats about one hundred thousand times per day. It is a great inside circulate!
It makes the biology and science interesting to read.
Good to elementary ( )

It is a useful book for children to gain basic biology knowledge. It uses vivid illustration to show the inner structure of the human body. the analogy in the book can be really interesting. It can be used in biology class and health class. ( )
