A book about your body parts provides the imagination with the scaffolding needed to build ideas from basic information. This information will give the child a basis with which to form questions. How can he wonder how the heart works if the kid doesn't know what the heart is? Once a child sees what is, the child can start to formulate what could be. The imagination snowballs from there, in zones of proximal learning and a series of 'what ifs?'
