That means a lot especially because you have two little ones of your own. And don't we always think ours are the cutest? Kim - I still can not get over the fact that they can actually do some of the things that they do. Like showing just the blood vessels. Wow! Lisa – Ah, thanks!

Jeane - It looks more gross on screen then it really is. I wouldn't take a four year old. The people who even put on the exhibit don't recommend it. They may get a bit scared, plus I wouldn't spend that kind of money on a four year old either. Mari - You're welcome! What was so funny was that my husband mentioned during the exhibit - what if they have sign-ups at the end? - and sure enough there were forms available! Ladytink_534 - I remember when I was little going to the Smithsonian and seeing a body sliced up. I've never forgotten it. I had never heard of this process until the exhibit came to our town. Husband came home and said we HAD to see it. I was game! Jeannette - Good to know Usborne has a book. I enjoy their books and I have a neighbor who sells them. Will definitely look into that one. Michelle - I didn't see anybody getting sick to their stomach at the exhibit. Maybe because we all wanted to be there? It was fascinating. I don't think I could stomach actually watching the process being done but the end result was fantastic!

Your boys are ADORABLE! And yes, I've heard of the exhibition. I saw the guy who thought up the exhibition (his name escapes me) on a television programme about how it was all done and he cut up a human body for everyone to see. I have to admit it was much too graphic for me, but I did think it was interesting and if I had a stronger stomach I'd love to see the exhibition as well! Hello. Your boys are ADORABLE!

It is colorful, has good info and it has flaps which my 3 year old son loves. If that plastination exhibit comes my way I will look into going. I just saw something about plastination recently and it sounds fascinating. The Usborne Flip-Flap Body Book is great for this age.
