Best Children’s Books about the Human Body

In the younger primary school years, children learn the basics of human anatomy, including learning to name and identify body parts and finding out about the senses – as well as learning about basic human needs and the importance of healthy lifestyles.  To support children in finding out more about their amazing bodies, we’ve put together a list of the best children’s books about human bodies and health.

NB: This human body topic booklist is designed to cover Key Stage 1 (ages 5-7). For human body books for older children, try our Healthy Humans (KS2) booklist.
