Description
Artie Heart loves working in the village of Body. But one day, he discovers that his friends, Larry and Rosie Lung, Steven Stomach, and Betty Bladder are feeling tired and worn out. Wanting to help, Artie asks Raymond Brain for some ideas. Raymond suggests a band called The Vita-Men! Artie's Party, the first book in the My Body Village series, will teach children about anatomy, health, and the importance of vitamins.
The mission of the My Body Village series is to introduce children to the exciting world inside their bodies. Through interesting characters and exciting stories, My Body Village will establish a relationship between a child and their body that will encourage children to treat their bodies well and educate them on the wonders of what is going on inside them.

Beyond the Pages with Eva K, Reviewer
This was a super fun, non-intimidating book that should do well in teaching young children about how the body works. With cool illustrations and memorable word play, it's sure to be a hit.

This is an interesting and fun way to help explain how the body works. The body is a village and all the organs live there and work together. Artie Heart is the main character in this story. He is busy doing his job of delivering oxygen and nutrients to all the residents of the body and he begins to notice that everyone is feeling tired. Artie visits Raymond Brain and they decide to invite the Vita-Men band to come for a visit. The band's performance perks everyone right up.
The illustrations are colorful and eye-catching. The job that each organ performs is described, not in a medically precise way, but so that young readers can understand. Raymond Brain, for example, sits in a control center with lots of switches and knobs, while Artie Heart pushes around a cart full of oxygen and nutrient packages. (We all know the heart doesn't actually travel through the body, but it does pump those necessary elements around.)
The companion website has activities, videos (including a music video by The Vita-Men), parent information and even a weekly challenge. Offering the online tie-in makes the characters more appealing to youngsters who enjoy multimedia presentations of information. And the book makes the point that vitamins are necessary for proper functioning of the body without being preachy in getting the message across.
