Book Reviews of Jessica's X-Ray
Book Review: My daughter's favorite book
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my 2-year-old daughter's favorite book. The book has helped her understand a little bit more about bones, and I think it also awakens curiosity about what other mysteries might be hidden inside the body. I agree with another reviewer who said that there may be too much info about CAT scans and MRI for a small toddler, so I just abridge those pages ("This is a machine for taking pictures of the inside of your head!" and "This is another way to take pictures of the inside of your body -- you slide into this big tube and they take pictures," etc.) Olivia especially likes the wrist x-rays, the ultrasound baby and the dentist's x-ray of the mouth.
Summary of Jessica's X-Ray
Featuring six real x-rays printed on mylar, Jessica's X-Ray is a unique and fun look inside our bodies and the world of x-rays written by a professional x-ray technologist who has worked extensively with children. In the book, kids follow Jessica, who has broken her arm, as she tours the hospital seeing x-ray rooms and looking at actual x-ray, CAT-scan, MRI and ultrasound images. These real x-ray images are printed on mylar so readers can see firsthand what Jessica sees. An identification key at the end of the book also helps kids pick out bones and muscles on their own.
