The Human Body Jigsaw Book

Waite L V 2006, The Human Body Jigsaw Book The Five Mile Press: Rowville: Vic. (ISBN 1741249899)

This is a good example of a contemporary non fiction book. It covers 5 systems of the body and the senses.

The layout is clear, easy to read and non-crowded. Each page is constructed of board to hold the puzzle on one side of the double page spread. There are 5, 48 piece puzzles looking at the different body systems: skeletal, central nervous, circulatory, muscular, and digestive. Each page explains 3 main areas of the system with clear and interesting diagrams with close ups of interesting things relating to the system.
The double page spread on the 5 senses does not have a puzzle (it's the last pages in the book) but it does have cut away diagrams of the organs involved.

While the book may be aimed at middle to upper primary students, because of the puzzles, it would still be useful in the high school library collection. It is quite engaging to read. Teachers could use it to introduce the various systems to the class (or refresh their memories).
