This series introduces beginning readers to the human body through mammals with similar anatomy -- and it does so in really fun ways!

The Inside Scouts is perfect for fans of The Wild Kratts. Sanjay and Viv can talk with animals and have special shrinking suits that allow them into the bodies of animals to help them feel better. This graphic novel for early chapter book readers has sentence structures, word choices, and illustrative support, making it perfect for newly independent readers. Through the story, we also receive specialized vocabulary about the digestive tract making it educational as well as fun. Overall, this graphic novel is great for early elementary readers who are just beginning to read on their own.
