Having spent a lot of time in elementary school libraries and taught hundreds of children that age I know that they do not mind reading non-fiction books. Granted most of them might reach for graphic novels or illustrated books initially, and they might scream or holler when presented with non-fiction, but that’s all for show. Once they dive into those truth-ridden books they’ll be happy, swim in knowledge, and regurgitate facts back to you with glee. So You Want to Build A Human? is one of those non-fiction, illustrated books. It’s an oversized, vividly illustrated look that looks at the major components and systems that make up you and me.
