Publisher Description: "Bart's Heart" is one of a series of educational texts aimed at children between the ages of 7 and 13. It is designed to present facts about the human body in an entertaining, colorful manner from the perspective of a child. The first in the series was "Ned's Head." The book consists of 16 verses in limerick form masterfully illustrated by a seasoned professional. The verses are written by a neurosurgeon who has been cited as one of the Best Doctors in America and one of Castle Connolly's Top Doctors. In addition to the facts presented, there is a glossary at the end of the book which provides both meanings of the medical terms as well as pronunciations. There is also a small heart hidden in the detail of each illustration for the reader to discern. It is hoped that the text will promote the habit of parents, caregivers and teachers reading with their children. It is also hoped that it will spark an interest in the human body in young minds. |
