Medical School for Kids : It’s never too early to learn. Review: A cute book for the medically inclined - As a radiologist, I enjoyed this book and thought it was the perfect blend of knowledge stated in simple layman terms. The book is easily digestible for older kids and even adults. Perfect for the medically inclined and curious who would like to learn about how the field of radiology works. The illustrations are also very cute. Would recommend!! Review: Educational and colorful! - My five-year-old nephew loves this book. He has every book in the series, and it’s really rewarding to see the wheels turn as he makes connections between this book and the other books in the series. For instance, after reading the Pulmonology for Kids book, he remembers that pneumonia occurs in the lungs and was excited to see a chest x-ray of pneumonia in this book. Everything is explained in a way that's so engaging and easy to understand. Really awesome book!
