The Human Body Coloring Book: The Ultimate Anatomy Study Guide, Second Edition (DK Human Body Guides)

Great book with amazing details, great illustrations, accurate and well organized information. This is a wonderful study aid, educational tool, and resource to have on hand. I have recommended this to EVERY massage therapy and nursing student I know.

Purchased this book to help my daughter with her Anatomy and Physiology classes. The book is informative and provides basic explanation of all the body parts in simple terms while she can enjoy and use her art talent by coloring each pages.

My 16 year old daughter is about to take Health Science and enter a certified nursing assistant program. She has been really enjoying learning from this book as she reads about and colors the different systems and body parts.

Wonderful book for coloring and learning informantion about the body.

I absolutely enjoyed this book because I had ADHD and focusing on color stimuli. I gave it a four because I would have thought it would try to have the max amount of information (which I know sometimes is impossible) but it had a good bit. Just if you have a class with some terms that aren't in the book I would just do a little side notation of where it would be located. It is a very detailed book with many point of views which is very helpful. I still would consider this to anyone and maybe a few others for realistic views too. Highly recommended

Helpful to my child in college

I took one for the team. I bought two different coloring books, this one and the Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit/Lawrence M. Elson. They are both great books but, depending on what you're looking for, you'll like one more than the other. Let's start with this book, Human Body Coloring. This book has very clear, large drawings that are a little on the simple side. For each system, there is a section before describing in color that system and its function. I've included examples from the heart section to this review.The book by Wynn Kapit/Lawrence M. Elson is also a great book but it looks different than Human Body Coloring. There is also a descriptive section before each section, but it's shorter and more to the point. The images are a much more detailed and realistic. However, they are occasionally on the smaller side.In short, Human Body Coloring has more background info and clearer images. The Anatomy Coloring Book by Wynn Kapit/Lawrence M. Elson has shorter to the point descriptions and more realistic, detailed images.

I wasn't sure which book to get so I got both this and Anatomy Coloring Book (Kaplan Anatomy Coloring Book). I like both equally for different reasons. DK's book opens with color pages, like a textbook, with very basic general knowledge of the human body. Then it's broken up into sections: The Body, Skeletal System, Muscular, Nervous System, Respiratory System, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic & Immune Systems, Digestive, Endocrine, Urinary, and Reproductive System. Within each section things are broken down into smaller subjects. A brief example, in the Skeletal System, pages are then devoted to Head and Neck, the Skull, Spine, Hip & Leg, Knee, etc. Before each main section there are colored pages with explanations of how things work. Again, these read like a textbook. Then there are the coloring pages, and each page begins with an explanation and vocabulary words that YOU will use to label the pictures (explanation of each word is in the page description). I feel like the pictures are really clear and clean, and makes for good coloring. There are 256 pages in the DK book.In Kaplan's book, things are covered in more detail, with 335 pages and 95 flashcards! It follows a similar format as the DK book, but there's no color pages except for the ones you color. Also, there are pictures only on one side of the page, which does make for a smaller book if they were printing back and front. There's more packed into each page, and some of the drawings are quite small, but with more detail. For example, the section covering the eye is two pages. In the DK book there are four pages devoted to the eye, with pictures of the muscles around the eye as well.In the Kaplan book I feel things are crammed in a little more on each page, resulting in smaller pictures. But the DK book pictures are much bigger. Still, I'm happy with both purchases and plan to work in both.
