Random Body Parts is an adorable and witty book of verse about, well… random body parts. The illustrations are fantastic and humorous, and the verse is fast paced and relatable. As an adult reader I did find the verse to be rather juvenile but nonetheless relatable. Personally, as I don’t have kids, I would purchase this book based on the hilarious anatomical content and the lovely illustrations.

Also, I would love to buy this for any young kids in my family or, had I kids, for them! Just imagine reading this at bedtime:

“You can search for lost words on my tip,
Or reveal hidden thoughts when I slip.
With my muscle-bound shove,
Tasty foods that you love,
Deconstruct on a long downward trip.”

(Yep. My kids are going to be the ultimate nerds one day.)

I think the true genius in this book is that the illustrations and easy verse make it suitable for a younger audience from age 5, but the learning opportunity about poetry and anatomy also makes it appropriate for an audience of the age of about 10.

Disclaimer: I received an e-galley of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
