Dr. Bonyfide Review

Long time no post! I am back after several computer issues and with a brand new review!! 

I was given the option to do a review on the Dr. Bonyfide set from Timberdoodle! 

When I say these books are amazing, I truly mean it! There is 4 books in the set and they are all based on the skeletal system. 

Here is what the books cover

Book 1- Hands, Arm, and Shoulder

Book 2- Foot, Leg, and Pelvis

Book 3- Rib Cage and Spine

Book 4- Head, Face, and Neck

My 4th grader was just as excited about them as I was when they came in the mail! 

He got started with them right away. 

What he liked about the books was the fun cartoons in them. I don't think he realized he was learning as he went through the first book.

 Another bonus is they can use these books independently!

The book even showed some sign language which he has now asked to learn more in depth! 

Another fun aspect he enjoyed were the fun glasses that he could see the secret words and activities in when a page had them. 

Here's an example of a page they have to use the glasses on to see the answer in the bone. 

 

The Dr. Bonyfide book set is amazing and fun! We plan to continue through the rest of the books over the next year and learn all about the bones in our bodies!

I highly recommend these books if you are studying the Human Body!!! You can check them out at Timberdoodle!

(I was given the book in this review by Timberdoodle, but all opinions are my own)
