"Written in such a way that children will understand how the human heart works, this book is an excellent resource. Pumpy and Pumpina have human characteristics that children can relate to, which I love. Having a healthy heart is important for children, and not taking care of it can lead to health problems. Pumpy and Pumpina teach children the importance of a healthy heart. For children, they provide an engaging way to learn about the heart. It is an effective tool for parents and educators to teach children about the body in an engaging way. I bought this book for my first grandchild and plan to purchase more copies as gifts."
