Customer Reviews

Great Choice!

Excellent starter on human physiology for a bright 1st grader. Even the pre-schooler was captivated by the images. A sound investment.

Great book for K-2nd

This book is very simple and accessible for children in grades K-2nd, but it could even be apropriate for some preschoolers.

Good

I bought this for my 4 yr old. The book is age appropriate for the designated age range. It gives kids' a beginning of understanding of the brain and body without going over their heads.

Great book for younger children

This book is a great introduction to the brain. I read it to my child's first grade class and they loved it. It is perfect for kindergarten!

Something to think about

Simple discussion of the brain, its parts, and its functions. Explains neurons and the spinal cord, too. For example, "Your brain may have as many as 100 billion (BIL-yuhn) neurons (NOO-rahnz) to do its work." Illustrations are functional, but the photos are good. Ends with a nice "words you know" review of vocabularyand an index. Karen Woodworth-Roman, Children's Science Book Review
