Any recommendations?

Looking for something age appropriate for DS age 2.5. Just what different bits are and what they do etc. Lots of pictures.

We have the Usbourne 'See Inside' book about the body (plus a few others in the series). DD1 got it when she was around 3 (3.5 now) and it's a firm favourite in her little library. Particularly the digestive system page with the poo flap 🙄 It has plenty of flaps to lift and fairly basic diagrams, although she is only now able to 'get' it the way it's written in the book. Initially I had to explain things much more simply, and show her proof what was on the page was in her body: feeling her pulse/ribs, ribs expanding with a breath etc. She just didn't believe she had a skeleton and organs inside her at first!
You may struggle with it at 2.5yo, but it's worth a go if there's an interest! If in doubt start with the digestion page...

Thanks, I'll check that one out.

Flaps to lift are always a winner!
