Horn Book (Thu Apr 01 00:00:00 CDT 2010)

Ms. Hansen and her students, plus (for some reason) a couple of extraterrestrials, undertake adventures to explain and demonstrate elements of human anatomy and physiology. The facts are solid, but the over-the-top setup, tone-deaf banter, and overly busy comic-style illustrations fall flat. A diagram and "Fun Facts" conclude each book. Glos., ind.

Ms. Hansen and the Explorers are very interested in learning--they want to know everything they can about the human body. But they aren't alone! The Zelmans, Xeni and Zeno, have come from their planet to learn about Earth's beings too! They travel into the respiratory system into the lungs' alveoli to learn how the lungs exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide. Come along as the Explorers and their favorite guests tour the human lungs. Graphic Planet is an imprint of Magic Wagon, a division of ABDO Publishing Group. Grades 3-6.
