We often ask very young children, “Where are your eyes, your nose, your ears, and your knees?” Generally with little hesitation, children are able to immediately point to those areas of their body. Then ask a child to indicate where their liver or kidneys are, and watch the look of bewilderment on his /her face. Overall, children not only don’t know where their organs are, they also don’t know what their organs do. "My Organ Buddies Book" is a book written to help young children learn all about the solid organs of their bodies through the “Organ Buddies” characters: "Oliver the Liver, Sidney the Kidney and his twin sister, Sydney the Kidney, Bart the Heart, Pat the Pancreas , and Louie and Louise the Lungs". Children will learn where their solid organs are located, how the organs function and the importance of maintaining them with proper nutrition and exercise.

Author’s notes: This book can be used as a read aloud, independent reader or classroom instructional tool.

She also likes the fun activity pages in the back of the book. Thanks for providing a fun educational book to help children learn about the organs of the body.”
