Booklist

Clear, direct words, lively pictures, and simple diagrams tell how to make a stethoscope ("Any kind of cardboard tube will do"), take your pulse, and listen to the heartbeats of a friend, an adult, a baby.

Hornbook Guide to Children

This revised and newly illustrated book presents basic facts about the heart and circulatory system from the perspective of a young child.

School Library Journal

Gr 1-3-A revision of a 1968 book. Keller's illustrations and Showers's text complement one another well, and will give young readers a good introduction to how the heart works. Three simple activities (measuring heart rate, exercising the heart, and making a stethoscope) are easy but effective ways to augment the text. The writing is succinct and clear. The simple line illustrations include a minimum of detail yet they reflect the action and convey different emotions effectively. The illustrations of the structure of the heart are well done, resulting in a good overview for beginning readers.-Christine A.
