Get your hands on—and in—this robust 16-inch-tall anatomy toy featuring realistic removable squishy organs, articulated joints, and an interactive electronic sound module.

Sculpted from a medical model of a real body, the detailed, realistic human body model is composed of 10 removable squishy organs and 15 other removable bones, muscles, and organs. The mandible on the skull opens and closes, a transparent lung displays the inner workings of the respiratory system, and joints bend and rotate.

When one of the eight removable SmartParts is placed on the electronic SmartScan module, the scanner recognizes the part and prompts you to select Scan Mode or Quiz Mode. In Scan Mode, you’ll hear information about the part, the system it belongs to, and fun facts. In Quiz Mode, you’ll test your knowledge by placing the correct SmartPart on the scanner to answer 70 quiz questions. The module also produces sounds based on the organ in question, so expect to hear some burps and gurgles!

Other components include an Organ-izer chart, assembly sheet, quick-start guide, and 48-page book packed with detailed explanations, colorful illustrations, and fun facts about your amazing human body. You’ll also discover how your body works and how to keep it healthy, in good shape, and going strong!

This toy is, indeed, the ultimate human body educational product. Expect this remarkable model to be treasured, talked about, and handed down to the next generation.

A hands-on approach to reading!

Give beginning readers additional practice that they will love! This set helps build strong reading skills. Use of three-letter words and consistent vowel sounds in slightly long stories reinforces skills and builds confidence. The stories are filled with fun, drama, and surprises to keep interest high!

Alongside these books children can practice the skills they are learning by doing activities in their VersaTiles workbook. This tried and true practice system creates a hands-on way of reviewing what they are learning in their Bob Books. Simply line up the puzzle-like answer case on top of the page in the book, and line the tiles up on top to start. Pick up each tile 1-8 and answer the question underneath it. Once each tile is placed, close the case, flip it over and see if the pattern matches what is on the bottom right corner of the workbook page. This practice is what helps children to comprehend what they are learning and gives them confidence in their reading abilities.

Engage your beginning reader with a fun puzzle-like way to practice reading!
