Publisher's Note
WHAT IF we had no skin? WHAT IF our bones were on the outside? WHAT IF we had a bird brain? Young readers will find these and many other mind-boggling WHAT IF questions about the human body. When they follow the colorful illustrations and answer the WHAT IF questions, they are sure to form a better understanding of the world around them.

Industry Reviews
Gr 3-6 Two titles with a slightly different bent. Instead of a straightforward presentation of what exists, Parker poses a series of hypothetical questions such as ``What if the Earth were twice as big?'' and ``What if there were no wind?'' In The Human Body, he asks ``What if we had no skin?'' and ``What if people didn't have sex?'' Explanations are clear and lively (if perhaps given too many exclamation points). Average-quality cartoon illustrations mirror the texts and provide a touch of humor. Given their scattershot approach, the books are better suited to browsing than for report writing. The ``Understanding Science & Nature'' series (Time-Life) gives a bit more coverage in these areas. Susan Chmurynsky, East Kentwood Freshman Campus, MI
