Learning the major muscles of the human body can be a challenge. The muscle book is here to help.
Written in rhyme and illustrated by Eugene Ruble, the muscle book breaks down the body's muscles into manageable chunks. You'll be amazed at how fast you will learn them. This particular book and its companion skeleton book, both in THE SUM OF OUR PARTS series, are useful learning tools for seventh and eighth grade science classes. The muscle book comes complete with factoids on each rhyming page, a glossary of terms, anterior/posterior muscle diagrams and a description of muscle tissue types.
Excerpt
Without any muscles
You'd be in a fix--
With just skin and bones,
You couldn't do tricks,

Over six hundred thirty.
They all help your body
Stay healthy and sturdy.
