My Organ Buddies

by Lee Downing and Felice Downing
Illustrated by Mike Lombardo

     

With My Organ Buddies, Lee and Felice Downing have written an excellent book that introduces your readers to the names and functions of their solid organs.

The alliterative names, Sydney the Kidney, Bart the Heart, Pat the Pancreas, and Louise and Louie the Lungs, will get and hold the attention of young readers as they learn the locations and functions of these organs. The authors have not overdone the information they provide. The way it is given is suitable for the age group targeted.

The book can be read aloud, used for independent reading, or as a classroom text. The authors provide additional classroom information, including a vocabulary page, a word seach activity, connect the dots, and a crossword puzzle. All these activities deal with material covered in the text.

This book would make an excellent addition to classrooms that work with young students.
