Stickmens Guide to your Mighty Muscles and Bones by John Farndon –OPTIONAL

Farndon, John Stickmens Guide to your Mighty Muscles and Bones 32 pgs. Hungry Tomatoes (Lerner), 2017.  $20.

This book features short informational chapters on human muscles, how they work, how to strengthen them, bones, and connective tissue. Lots of illustrations, fun facts, and photographs are included.

In lieu of my favorite non-fiction books, DK, this one will work. Its short, well explained(though some of the analogies are a bit odd –like a current loaf!?), and there are lots of interesting facts to hold readers interest. I don’t get the inclusion of the stickman at all, it’s a highly ignorable addition. In the past I have no cared for any of the stickman series, but this one is actually pretty good.
