    Thank you so much for this! My granddaughter is only 4 1/2 but her mom is a doctor and tells her all about how her body works. She is fascinated with body parts and this will be so much fun for her. She has been cooped up with her dad during the pandemic while her mom works and dad is always looking for more things to keep her active mind occupied!
