Overview

Read and find out about how your body uses blood in this colorfully illustrated nonfiction picture book.

You've seen your own blood, when you have a cut or a scrape. You can see the veins in your wrist, and you've seen the scab that forms as a cut heals. But do you know what blood does for you?

"An excellent choice for units on the circulatory system or to take the fear out of cuts, scrapes, and blood tests," according to a School Library Journal starred review.

Without blood, you couldn't play, or grow, or learn. That's because just about every part of your body needs blood, from your muscles to your bones to your brain. How does your body use blood? Read and find out!
