Cells and Systems

Starts by explaining what cells are and comparing plant and animal cells. Several pages describe the parts of plants, making food, respiration, inside a leaf and "plant plumbing". The rest of the book explores human cells and covers such topics as bones, muscles, systems (circulatory, digestive, respiratory, nervous), waste and water, your senses, and reproduction. The book design is clear and colorful. The are excellent photographs (many magnified views of cells) and illustrations (many labeled). There is also a glossary, bibliography, and index.
