This enthralling look at the workings of the cardiovascular system introduces young readers to the human heart and its function. Along with the heart's atria and ventricles, the book explains the circulatory system and how the blood and its pathways operate. Readers get an in-depth look at red and white blood cells, platelets, plasma, blood pressure, blood types and donors, and how the lymphatic system works with the rest of the body's organs and tissues. Vocabulary boxes explain new words, Think About It sections pose questions for readers' consideration, and Compare and Contrast sidebars engage readers' minds.

      Gr 2-4-These mediocre introductions to major (nonreproductive) body organs pair dryly generalized descriptions of anatomical structures and their functions with a mix of often drably colored graphic images and obviously posed photos of young people coughing, playing sports or taking part in some other relevant activity. Though each volume closes with remarks on the benefits of healthy behavior and habits, each also includes one or more potentially disquieting chapters on diseases and disorders. Aspects of these books are sure to leave readers confused, such as a bald statement in Eyes that "Eye color is different for every person" and a schematic picture in Heart that could be construed as depicting capillaries and veins as the same size. Stomach includes a chapter on animal digestion that seems to be filler, as other volumes stick to human anatomy. The back matter includes adequate resource lists, but no review or study questions. VERDICT Lackluster additions.
