The Human Body Coloring Book: The Ultimate Anatomy Study Guide, Second Edition (DK Human Body Guides)

I wasn't sure which book to get so I got both this and Anatomy Coloring Book (Kaplan Anatomy Coloring Book) . I like both equally for different reasons. DK's book opens with color pages, like a textbook, with very basic general knowledge of the human body. Then it's broken up into sections: The Body, Skeletal System, Muscular, Nervous System, Respiratory System, Cardiovascular, Lymphatic & Immune Systems, Digestive, Endocrine, Urinary, and Reproductive System. Within each section things are broken down into smaller subjects. A brief example, in the Skeletal System, pages are then devoted to Head and Neck, the Skull, Spine, Hip & Leg, Knee, etc. Before each main section there are colored pages with explanations of how things work. Again, these read like a textbook. Then there are the coloring pages, and each page begins with an explanation and vocabulary words that YOU will use to label the pictures (explanation of each word is in the page description). I feel like the pictures are really clear and clean, and makes for good coloring. There are 256 pages in the DK book. In Kaplan's book, things are covered in more detail, with 335 pages and 95 flashcards! It follows a similar format as the DK book, but there's no color pages except for the ones you color. Also, there are pictures only on one side of the page, which does make for a smaller book if they were printing back and front. There's more packed into each page, and some of the drawings are quite small, but with more detail. For example, the section covering the eye is two pages. In the DK book there are four pages devoted to the eye, with pictures of the muscles around the eye as well. In the Kaplan book I feel things are crammed in a little more on each page, resulting in smaller pictures. But the DK book pictures are much bigger. Still, I'm happy with both purchases and plan to work in both.

Great way to visualize learning in a fun way. I color and label a bit before bed, it’s helped me learn terms and names.

This went far beyond my expectations for this book. This coloring book is like a textbook and it is absolutely perfect very knowledgeable, I feel it will help immensely with my studying and I'm actually excited to learn

gifted this and got jealous that i did not get one for myself. while i did not fact check the accuracy before gifting it, i flipped through and was truly impressed by the high quality of the book and the amount of detail for each diagram.

A great study tool for those going through anatomy, while I feel like some sections could have been spaced out more, or more information at that, it's still great for studying! It has a stronger material for the cover which is nice to prevent tearing of the pages.

OMG: DK never fails! Love DK books.. This book is amazing. The systems are broken down so easily… By the time u finish coloring, u have memorized structures. I bought it for my daughter for her A&P class at the Uni, she’s a pharmacy major, loved it!! I also liked it so much that I ordered one for me. I am a nurse and I can do some coloring in my free time instead of social media. Plus good for the brain🤩 Thanks DK!

Love this! I’m starting Anatomy and Physiology 1 this semester and I’m looking forward to using this to study.

GREAT quality, SOOO helpful!!!!!
