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

This book is AMAZING!! I wish I would’ve found it before my Anatomy 1 but I found it right before my Anatomy 2 and it is going to help me tremendously. It covers information about a specific system or topic and then allows you to label and color white diagrams yourself.

Helpful to my child in college

Bought this book for my daughter who is a physical therapy major in college. She absolutely loves it. Pages are thick and great quality. The cover is very sturdy. Would definitely buy one for a teenager who may be interested in going into the medical field.

Very detailed book, and you can label and color the body parts which is a fun way to learn everything . It’s a good book for learning the human body.

Helps so much with learning anatomy!

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.

SO DETAILED AND GOES OVER EVERYTHING

This is a great study aid. The pictures are very detailed that you can color.
