Enjoy Your Cells: (Enjoy Your Cells Series 1)

SUCH a big hit! My 6-year-old loves this series so much that he is not only explaining the science to everyone he meets, but he's re-creating the "Bone" comic book series as "Cells" (complete with "germ creatures" instead of "rat creatures," etc.) The information is a good balance of interesting and detailed, but not over-complicated, and the graphics are bright and engaging.

I bought this book to read to my 5 year old, he wanted to know about dna. The books only gives the very basic info on that, but that was fine because we wanted to go through some basic cell biology with him. The book was very detailed and helpful with its pictures to explain these concepts to my son.

That title is from my son, now 8. We got him this book when he was 4 and he was immediately taken by it. We (parents) are both molecular biologists and one of us ran across it at a meeting, where we picked it up. We have since bought gift copies for other children. It is by no means comprehensive, but it is entertaining and educational. FWIW, I brought it to his first-third-grade classroom and the fertilization part didn't trigger any questions about anatomy. From my son: My favorite page is the one with all the sperm swimming toward the egg. The one that gets in says "I'm spermtastic." The pictures are good and it's a funny joke. The other sperms say "I can't swim," "Wait for us," "Let us in," "All this way for nothing!" and "Yeah." I also really like the next page, where the sperm that got in says "Now we are just one cell." The other sperms say "Sob," "Smug sperm," "Bah," and "We're too late." My other favorite part is where everyone is guessing how many cells are in a human. The dinosaur says "I thought I was made of Latex." I like it because it's a joke. Get it? The dinosaur thinks he's made of plastic. I like this book because I learned a lot and it is funny.

This is a cute book. I ordered it among many at the beginning of the pandemic because my kids school had no plan. The kids enjoyed reading this book. It was simple easy and non threatening as some educational books seem. The still enjoy reading it time to time.

My almost- 5 year old loves these whole series of books and has me read and re-read, and is talking with scientific vocabulary and asking questions that surprises other adults who I presume haven't seen these books. Great illustrations. Very happy I purchased, and I assume they will be in use for years to come!

I got this book for my 5-year old. It's a little advanced for her, but she loves it and it getting an intro into some biology concepts, including cell structure and fetal development. Also, it gives her an introduction to some biology words like DNA, protein, cytoplasm, and cell membrane. Includes four pages with diagrams of different types of cells (skin, hair, pigment, gland, muscle, nerve, bone, blood, etc). I also like how the author explains how cells are the same in people and animals, different in plants. Illustrations are very colorful and eyecatching.

Great book, lots of simple info

Arrived on time, in good condition. My child enjoyed this engaging book. The text and illustrations are clever.
