Our Favorite Anatomy Books for Kids

body books for 7 year olds

My oldest is currently fascinated with anatomy. It is so much fun to see their curiosity about where their food goes when they eat it and what their bones look like and skeletal structure. Of course, one of my favorite ways to encourage this curiosity is through books. When they look through they have so much wonder at the photos and I love how they will excitedly point out something like a microscopic photo of a cell and ask me to tell them about it. We have spent so much time pouring overt these books. Maybe they will grow up to be a doctor? Either way, we are having fun. Below are some of our favorite anatomy books for kids. Because some of them are comprehensive looks at the body, a few of them do address reproduction, pregnancy or reproductive organs in some kid friendly way or another. Be aware and choose the appropriate books for your child based on your feelings about age appropriateness and what-not.

body books for 7 year olds

“Human Body! (Knowledge Encyclopedias” by DK- This huge book is thick and PACKED with information! One of our favorite things about it is all of the actual photographs that it includes as opposed to just illustrations. We have spent a TON of time in this one! I would say that it is geared towards older readers in general though.

body books for 7 year olds

“Professor Astro Cat’s Human Body Odyssey” by Dominic Walliman and Ben Newman- We love Professor Astro Cat and this book is no exception. It has the boy split up by systems and provides an illustrative look as well as easy to understand description of processes. The design is fabulous and Professor Astro Cat makes it extra appealing.

body books for 7 year olds

“Atlas of the Human Body” by Kanitta Meechubot and Dr Vanessa Jessop- Don’t be fooled by this unpretentious cover, this book is incredible!!! The fist section is filled with die cut illustrations of a body that is formatted so that with each turn of the page you get a look of the next cross-cut layer of the anatomy. It’s hard to explain, but seriously incredible. The last section has illustrations of individual parts of anatomy such as organs and veins along with some descriptions. We love this one!

body books for 7 year olds

“Illumanatomy” by Kate Davies and Carnovsky- This book is ah.ma.zing! You use a special lens that comes with a book so that when looking through you can see 3 images on one illustration. For example, when looking at a full body image you can see the skeletal structure through one, the muscular structure with another and the circulatory system with the last. SO COOL!

body books for 7 year olds

“Book of Bones” by Gabrielle Balkan and Sam Brewster- Okay, so this book covers anatomy from a variety of different creatures, but it does include a human skeletal structure in the mix. It helps children understand the skeletal structure better in general and helps them to see some fascinating adaptations that animals have in theirs such as a giraffes incredibly long neck. We especially love that the illustrations have raised, textures “skeletal structures” over some illustrations for you to feel with your fingertips.

body books for 7 year olds

“The Adventures of Your Brain” by Dan Green and Sean Sims- In my opinion the brain is the most fascinating organ in our body. This oversized nonfiction books discusses the many functions of the brain in such a kid-friendly and fun format. There are bright illustrations and flaps, pull tabs and pop-ups throughout. Definitely a winner!

body books for 7 year olds

“Look Inside Your Body” by Louie Stowell- This larger, lift-the-flap board book is a huge favorite over here! There are so many flaps to lift (over 100!) and the illustrations are appealing. This book in particular is geared towards a younger audience and is very basic and simple in it’s approach. Perfect for preschoolers in my opinion.

body books for 7 year olds

“Squishy Human Body” by Smartlab Toys- Okay, so this isn’t a book exactly, but it does come with a booklet! However, it is here because this beauty is seriously too good not to include. The booklet explains the different organs and body systems in the model and the kit includes a plastic human body model and stand, 9 squishy organs and 12 bones that fit inside, forceps and tweezers for taking it apart and putting it together and a body parts organizer to help you identify the organs when they are removed. This kit has my child completely starry-eyed!!!

body books for 7 year olds

“X-Ray Me!: Look inside your body” by Felicitas Horstschafer and Johannes Vogt- This board book doesn’t have a lot of “meat” to it as far as content goes, but the format is genius. It has two handles on either side when you open it up and then you place the book in front of your body to show the organs/systems inside of you that would be behind it. Kind of like getting a pretend x-ray look inside your body. Like I said, genius!

There are lots of books for kids about the human body. What do you think fascinates people enough to keep publishing new books on the same topic?

Your body is part of you and who you are, and you can’t separate the two. You go from being a baby that has to be carried around to being a fully functional, fully grown adult, and as your body changes, so does your mind. So I think it’s very important that children have an understanding of it. Often when children are very young they don’t see themselves as separate from their parents. Usually it’s only when they get to about three years old that they realise that they’re a separate person, and later that they’re a completely different person.

It’s hard to understand this cognitively for children unless you actively explain it. So that’s why reading books to them about the human body and using words like “your body”, and giving children a sense of ownership over it, is important. Also, what we’re hoping for, as a professional body of paediatricians, is that if children of this generation have a better understanding of nutrition and exercise, then they will be physically and mentally healthier adults.

Do you think that if children read books to gain awareness of everything that goes on in the human body, they might develop healthier habits for life?

Yes, healthier bodies and minds. Above the age of nine, the frontal lobe, which controls your emotional connections, starts expanding significantly. They also get an understanding of consequences. Often children suddenly start experiencing significant anger, frustration, concerns and anxiety about exams, when they previously wouldn’t really have thought about it. Sometimes I find that children come to see me in clinic for very physical feelings in their body that actually have emotional triggers. My wish for all children is that they have an understanding of themselves, their physical body, their mind, and their thought processes and feelings. The sooner we start teaching children not just about their physical body but about their feelings, and understanding the difference between feelings and behaviours, the more it will help them to deal with the world. With the explosion of social media, children are exposed to a lot of unfiltered information. Photos of individuals on social media are not a reflection of their real lives. With an understanding of their body when they’re young, children will hopefully respect their own body, treat themselves with kindness and hopefully be able to separate fantasy from facts when they’re older.

Kay’s Anatomy: A Complete (and Completely Disgusting) Guide to the Human Body by Adam Kay, illustrated by Henry Paker

On that note, let’s start with the book about the human body which you’ve picked for 8-12 year old kids , which will help equip them with reliable information. Adam Kay is well known in the UK for his bestseller for adults about his time as an obstetrician , and now he writes for children as well.

What I love about Kay’s Anatomy is that it uses a lot of humour. It breaks the body down into its component parts, and explains the practical uses of what that piece of anatomy is meant to do. But it ties in funny stories, jokes and history – things that the Romans did, things that happened at different points in history – around the body. If you manage to inject any sort of humour and storytelling, then people can usually remember things better and it demystifies the subject. I have to talk to children about lots of personal things about their body. I have to get them to try to trust me so they will tell me what’s happening so that I can then try and understand what might be going wrong for them. Kay’s Anatomy gives children confidence. These books enable me to have a common language with the children I care for and it stops them feeling frightened to talk about pee and poo and the heart and your eyes and lungs. The images in it are really good as well, because they’re all almost comic, and the graphics are great. Any book that breaks down the fear factor for a hospital appointment is fantastic.

This book is full of information about the human body, and random facts that kids are likely to enjoy. But it also tackles medical conditions that children might experience. And it touches on anxiety and body image and alcohol and other issues that they might encounter, but which often people feel shouldn’t be written about for kids.

I can understand why we have a tendency to want to protect our children. The leading cause of death in children younger than two years old is usually congenital problems. Between two and five, you get the introduction of injuries and cancers, especially brain tumours, and more infections. Between five and nine, you have the same thing: significant accidents, brain tumours and cancers, and still some infections. But then after the age of nine, the stark reality is that the most common cause of death in children is suicide. Between the age of nine and 13, most children go through puberty. So even though you can’t see it on the outside of their bodies, their hormones are increasing to more of an adult pubertal pattern. And those hormones affect not just your physical organs, in terms of growth; they also affect your brain. We need to talk about all these things with our children so that they’re far better prepared, so they can understand that if they’re suddenly in a rage with their mum it might be something that mum has done but it can often be to do with their emotional lability during puberty.

Between nine and 13 is also when we get more of a conscious understanding of time. That’s often when grandparents or people that we love are really ill. It’s important that children understand about disease processes because they become consciously aware that one day granddad was there and the next minute he wasn’t, and why do I feel the way I feel? Well, grief is the loss of love and an expression of sadness at that loss. So, I do think it’s important that we discuss these things. As parents it can feel incredibly uncomfortable bringing up emotional wellbeing or sexual health in pre-teenage and teenage children, but it’s our duty to prepare children for the world around them.

This kind of book for kids about the human body can be very helpful for parents if there are things they want to talk with their children about, but they don’t know the answer or they feel awkward about starting the conversation.

Often the best time to talk to a teenager about their health is when you’re walking along beside them, or in the car, at an idle time when there’s no agenda. If there’s been a death in the family or a relative that’s been ill, it’s really important to discuss grief, to be open about your own emotions related to grief or sadness, because children are very perceptive, they’re very good at understanding if the adult in their life is unhappy or unwell.

Adam Kay’s book demystifies the body but what I also really like about it is that it discusses some of the emotional aspects that starts impacting on children at this age, when they are too young to fully understand what the impact is, but they know that something’s not right. They themselves will have been used to waking up every morning feeling really happy and they won’t suddenly understand why sometimes they’re in a mood or just really fed up. It’s important that children understand that emotion is normal. Human beings have a terrible habit of binary thinking: black or white, happy or sad, cool or uncool. Culturally, over the last decade or so, it’s always about maximal positivity, but it’s ok to talk about both negative and positive. Books like this one give children the words to understand.

The author is so enthusiastic. He’s obviously fascinated with the wonderful and sometimes quite repulsive nature of the human body and I think that he manages to transmit that enthusiasm to kids in this book.

Yes, Kay’s Anatomy is wonderful at breaking down the barriers of awkwardness and enabling engagement. You know, the longest journey you will ever do is with your own body. The sooner children get into the habit of using sunscreen the better, and the sooner that they understand their feelings the better, because the person you will spend the most time with is yourself.

Indeed. Have you listened to the audio version of this book? Apparently it’s quite special.

I haven’t but my friend’s daughter’s listened to it. She loved it; she thought was wonderful.

Look inside Your Body by Louie Stowell, illustrated by Kate Leake

Let’s move on to the next book about the human body, for slightly younger kids, probably for readers between five and nine years old. Why did you pick this one?

I love the Usborne books, especially their illustrations. It’s engaging, with images that are slightly cartoonish. Again, this book demystifies the human body a bit for children. I like the fact that there’s quite a lot of interaction and engagement with it. So it keeps it fun and not scary. It’s just the right amount of disgusting and squeamish for children in this age group.

A lot of information is packed into a very accessible format. There are flaps to lift with text underneath, so this book contains a lot of text about the human body but it doesn’t look dense on the page.

Yes and also it’s a voyage of discovery with all the interaction that it has. You’re not just sitting reading lots of facts; it makes it into a game and gets your imagination flowing. Children between five and nine, they’re absorbing and learning facts all the time. Anything that engages them, anything that makes their learning interactive, is a complete gift. Books that help children understand the body can enable children with chronic diseases articulate concerns or understand what’s going on with their body or a friend’s body.

A book like this, which can help children understand what’s going on when they’re sick, do you think it helps make it less frightening?

I think they’re still frightened, but I think the more information children have, the more they can process what’s happening. Often, I’ll use this book in clinic with children after they’ve been in hospital to talk through what happened. It’s not just the parent that needs to understand everything that happened to the child, the child needs to understand it themselves, whether it was a one-off bad thing that happened, or whether it’s something that’s going to stay with them. In that case, I need them to understand that it’s part of them, but it doesn’t define who they are.

In terms of understanding normal anatomy, demystifying it, engaging with it and giving different words to children about the body, this book is great. But it’s also an incredibly helpful tool for a parent, and especially for a professional in clinic. It is something non-threatening that I tend to have on the clinical room table. First I ask them if they like storybooks and 99% of children say yes. Then I open the book on the right page and talk about their body, I talk through what happened and what medicines they got and why. Once they have the book in their hands, they don’t feel as intimidated or scared and often you see them getting a better understanding of themselves and why they need to keep going with a medicine or why they had a lot of medicine and now they’re fine.

Body by Stephanie Babin, illustrated by Ilaria Falorsi

Shall we move onto your next book pick for kids about the human body?

Yes, this one is for two to five year olds . Again, it has nice illustrations. It doesn’t talk a lot about function, but it doesn’t need to at that age. It has just the right amount of information and very friendly language.

And it’s interactive with tabs to pull and push to reveal the skeleton in the x-ray and that sort of thing, a sturdy-looking board book.

Yes, anything that enables the children to interact is wonderful because then they can engage with the book themselves if you’re not reading it with them.

This human body book for kids is much broader than anatomy, right? It’s about the five senses, feelings, eating, toileting, going to the doctor…

Yes, it’s a fantastic all-round book to start children on their journey with their own body. And it will help them realise that it’s their body, so anything that will give them that gift of understanding and make them feel a little bit more in control is helpful. It’s really important that they know that it’s their body; they can be in charge.

Pirate Pete’s Potty by Andrea Pinnington, illustrated by Melanie Williamson

Let’s move onto a key human body topic now: a book for kids about toilet training.

The reason that I picked Pirate Pete’s Potty – and there’s Pirate Polly’s Potty and Princess Polly’s Potty as well – is that 15% of referrals to our outpatient paediatric clinic are for constipation. So those are children that are bad enough to have needed referral from their local doctor to a hospital. A study in 2018 showed that 48% of consultations for children aged between two and five going to see their GP [general practitioner] was related to constipation, potty training or anxiety around that.

That’s extraordinary.

It’s a huge problem. The amount of money that goes on constipation in a year for the NHS [the National Health Service in the UK] is unbelievable and it’s totally avoidable. If you lay the foundations of the child understanding the function of the bowels, the function of passing urine, the fact that they should drink and eat regularly, then we know that the best intervention is a good routine: being able to sit properly on the toilet or a potty and put their feet flat, and a good healthy balanced diet. We call it idiopathic constipation when there’s no disease. Everyone worries about Thyroid disease and Coeliac disease and I understand that, but last year in all the children that I saw for constipation, only one of them had a health problem. That patient was anaemic and the rest of them were all absolutely fine but they weren’t drinking enough water. Some were drinking too much milk and not eating a nutritious enough diet. Some just weren’t taking the time for their bodies to have this function because they were on the Xbox or running here and there. Often on holiday in hot places, children don’t drink enough water, they get constipated and do a hard poo and get sore, and they will then try to hold in their poo. So it goes round and round in a vicious circle and then we tend to see them in November and December in clinic. This is totally avoidable for the majority of children that don’t have specific learning needs or social communication needs. So that’s the reason why I think this book is important.

This book suggests that children get involved in choosing some underpants, and overall tries to support the toilet training process. Do you think it can help take the stress out of what can be a messy situation?

I think children that haven’t managed it tend to feel like they’re somehow alone and that they as a person are bad. What I really like about this book is that Pete has an accident and it’s okay to have an accident. This is their body that they will be with their whole life, so let them have a sense of control over it again. When I see children in clinic, often they feel that they aren’t in control at all. So I talk to them about the nervous system, about how there are a whole lot of computers that are in charge of their tummy and their bowels and their pee. What I like about this book is that it explains that they might find it hard, that they might have accidents, but it enables children to have an understanding.

I suppose this book would be equally useful if you don’t want to use a potty but maybe one of those little detachable seats and a stool for stepping on?

Yes, absolutely. If the child is going to use the toilet, make sure there’s a set of steps or big hard box that they can put their feet on so that their feet are nice and flat rather than dangling, because if their feet are dangling below the toilet, then they wouldn’t have enough muscle strength to push out. If their feet are flat then all of their muscle groups will help them. Another benefit of using the book to frame the activity is that it acts as a bit of a distraction if they’re sore or uncomfortable. So they will associate going to the toilet with being fun, and broadly anything that is fun in their routine enables them to gain that understanding. It goes back to the same thing about Adam Kay’s book: anything that injects humour in an activity and an explanation is ideal, because then it takes the fear factor out of it.

There’s a ‘hurray’ sound button in this book which I am sure motivates some children but it might drive their parents crazy or the parents might like to minimise battery use. Do you have any recommendations for a book without the sound?

There are sticker variations of the Princess Polly and Pirate Pete books with no buzzer, and there is a company called Penwizard that does a potty training book which you can order with your child’s name so the story becomes about them. They have male, female and non-binary versions. Or, if the child doesn’t particularly like storybooks, you can use reward charts. You can order stickers from RewardCharts4kids.com, for example, with the child’s name, and the majority of their things are free. Also, there are two really good websites for families with regards to healthy eating and toileting: www.infantandtoddlerforum.org and www.eric.org.uk .

Anatomy for Babies by Jonathan Litton, illustrated by Thomas Elliott

Let’s move on to your final book pick for kids about the human body. This one is for very young children, from birth to around two years old , another board book that helps children think about all the things the body can do.

Yes it’s sturdy, which is good because it’s going to get thrown around a lot. The reason why I picked this little book for very young babies is, again, for their sense of awareness. Often, when health staff assess a child’s development, they’ll say things like “can you point to your eyes?” and “where is your nose?” and they’ll make an assessment on how that child is developing based on their understanding of anatomy parts. That song ‘Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes’ is a good song to sing with children when they’re around two years old, because it gets them to learn about their body. Having a book and using that for story time helps children start on their journey with their body, to understand and explain it. I’ve had children who, when they’ve been ill, have pointed to the right body part and said that they’re not well and if I get the book then they’ll point to it in the book. It’s incredible. They might not have complex language yet, but they can use pointing and a book to help explain it to you.

One thing I’ve noticed with these books, except Kay’s Anatomy which is for middle grade readers, is that they use cross-section diagrams to illustrate, without showing any genitals. Do you think that’s age-appropriate or would it be healthier to have a more matter of fact attitude to all our body parts?

I would welcome a more mature approach to it. I think with these books there are a lot of limitations in different countries about what you can and can’t show. But certainly, in terms of talking to very young kids in a practical way about their body and their genitals, the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children has a really good programme called PANTS. It’s very important because it’s about trying to get children to understand and to speak up if they’ve got any concerns about sexual abuse. The way that they do it is they talk about what’s in your pants, and that it belongs only to you. It’s very good for pre-schoolers and kids up to around seven years old, using songs and a funny storyline to get across an important message.

Sign up here for our newsletter featuring the best children’s and young adult books, as recommended by authors, teachers, librarians and, of course, kids.

So it talks about your private parts belonging only to you, without associating any shame with those parts of the body?

Yes, there’s no shame, it’s very practical. There’s a song called ‘pantosaurus’, and they have all these dinosaurs that are running around in underpants. The song is lovely, it says that your pants cover up your private parts and things like that. It gives parents advice on when to bring this topic up with children and why that’s important. Children, even really young children, if something happens to them you can see that they have a sense that something is just not right, but they don’t know what. And so it’s really important to try and get them to have that understanding. Sexual abuse transcends all the social classes and all children need to understand that their body is a gift for them and that they have the right to control it. Then if something is happening that is wrong, they understand that it’s wrong.

I’m very keen that children have an understanding of their body. If children have an understanding of anatomy, and that it’s their body and nobody else’s body, then they know how precious their body and mind are for their future.

11 Books That Explain Anatomy To Your Kids Without Sugarcoating It

You begin teaching your children about their body parts at a pretty young age. As, as with most other subjects, I'm a firm believer in the power of books to help you educate your child on the wonder that is the human body. But it can be hard to find books that explain anatomy to kids that don't sugarcoat things. Some children's book authors seem to be of the mind that children are too young to fully grasp the concepts of the human body, and tend to keep it vague when referring to body parts for children.

Rest assured that there are books don't keep it vague. No matter how old your child is, there's a book that will help explain the human body to them in a clear, educational, and straightforward way — sometimes, you just have to dig a little to find them. From explaining where your belly button comes from, to why hair grows, to reproduction, there are books that cover it all. Because even when you feel comfortable teaching your children about their bodies , it can help to have a book to back you up.

By introducing educational and entertaining books about the human body, you'll instill in them not only a love for learning, but the knowledge to answer any questions they might have about their bodies. So keep a few of these stocked on your kid's bookshelf, and let them read it any time they please.

A better way to talk to kids about sex

Best puberty books for 8 year olds

boy and girl whispering about puberty books for 8 year olds children

Here you will find some puberty books for 8 year olds that won’t tell your child more than they are ready for.

You might have an 8 year old who is showing some early signs of puberty . Or you might have an 8 year old who is curious about what puberty is all about. Whichever it is, it is important to choose a book that can tell them what they need to know without scaring them .

The puberty books for 8 year olds that are listed here all meet the following criteria:

1. It has to be at the right reading level.

2. It has to be simple and not overwhelm kids with too many details.

3. It doesn’t talk about sex or sexual intercourse.

Puberty books for 8 year olds need to be simple and not overwhelm kids with too many unnecessary details. At this age, they just need to know about what will be happening to their body. They actually aren’t all that interested in sexual intercourse. We can talk to them about sex when they are a bit older and actually interested in learning about sex.

All of the book reviews will say if they do or don’t talk about sexual intercourse.

You’ll find the puberty books for 8 year olds broken into two parts ie boys (or males) and girls (or females).

You can find more books about different topics in the main list of Sex Education Books for Children .

And if you find this list a little overwhelming, you might want to look at the age-appropriate list of sex education books .

You’ll find more information about puberty in my Puberty 101 page.

Recommendations

There are a lot of puberty books in this list which means it’ll be hard to make a choice. So… I thought I would share the books that I’m always recommending to parents of 8 year olds. Hair in funny places is a ‘sweet & innocent’ yet funny book that is a great book for gently introducing the concept that puberty will one day be happening. If you want a ‘boy’ book that doesn’t mention sex, then I’m a boy is the only one. Secret Boys Business a very popular, simple and straightforward book but it does briefly mention sex. If you want a ‘girl’ book that doesn’t mention sex, then Secret Girls Business is a very popular, simple and straightforward book. The Care & Keeping of You 1 is also very popular and is quite good. A great book for all kids (but it does talk about sex) is So that’s what’s happening .

Puberty books for 8 year olds

Books for boys or kids with a penis, books for girls or kids with a vulva, books for all kids.

NOTE: Before passing any book to your child or reading the book with your child, you should read it yourself first. I might think it is a great book for a certain age child or that the information is valuable, but you may disagree. You need to choose books that reflect your values and the messages you want your child to receive.

Resources to help with talking about puberty

My mission is to create resources that will help you to naturally talk to your kids about sex, all while respecting your personal values.

Which means that inside this website, you’ll find lots of resources to help you with talking to your child about puberty .

My Puberty 101 page includes all of the information on puberty. You’ll find lots of different blog posts to help with talking to your child about growing up.

You’ll find videos about puberty in my Sex Education Videos resource page that you can watch with your child or to learn more about puberty yourself.

You’ll also find an extensive range of children’s books on puberty , for kids of all ages.

If you get stuck and feel that you need some extra support with talking to your child about puberty, then my book, The Parents’ Guide to Puberty , may be helpful. It’s a straightforward common sense guide that will help you to start having honest conversations that will guide your child through puberty, and strengthen your relationship without feeling embarrassed, awkward or nervous.

Or maybe you’re looking for a video course to sit down and watch together with your child. My friend Rowena from Amazing Me has created a fantastic 2 part interactive course for parents/carers to attend together with their 9 to 12 year old. It’s fun, educational and age-appropriate! You can learn more about her puberty course here.

If you have a child who is expecting their first period, then you may want to consider period pants . Period pants are fantastic for kids who are worried that they won’t know that their period has started until it stains through their clothing for the world to see. My favourite brand for tweens and teens is ModiBodi , as they are good quality and quite absorbent.

body books for 7 year olds

If you need some help with explaining sexual intercourse to your child, then How to Talk to Kids About Sex will help you explain sex to your child in a way they will understand. It breaks sex down into simple steps that take the stress out of explaining!

If you’re unsure about how to answer your child’s questions about sex, then I have the perfect book for you! The Sex Education Answer Book will give you age-specific answers to the most common questions kid’s ask parents about sex. Which means you don’t need to worry about finding a child-friendly explanation that your child understands.

And if you get stuck, feel free to get in touch! You can contact me here.

Top 30 Books on the Human Body for Kids

We've compiled a list of the most fun and educational books on the human body for kids. Students are naturally intrigued by lessons on human anatomy, as most kids in this age group have questions how their body works and LOVE to hear all the 'gross' aspects of human anatomy. In fact, we noticed that interjecting a little 'ick' into your human body curriculum can go a long way in retaining attention.

Human body books for kids are also ideal for making a fairly complicated subject area more kid friendly-- with more age-appropriate words, explanations, and illustrations specifically picked for young minds. Below are some of the best children's books about the human body. Please note that as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.
