A fun interesting and colourful book about brains with tons of facts, tests, experiments, and more! So happy one of my libraries had this one~

This book is jam packed full of fun and fascinating scientific facts about brains. There is just so much to learn! This book is aimed at 9-11 year olds but my daughter (aged 7) has loved dipping into it and I have also loved reading it!
The book teaches us all about the inner workings of the human brain and demonstrates all the amazing things that a brain can do. It answers so many questions including: Why do we sleep? What happens inside our head whilst we sleep? How does your brain tell the rest of your body what to do? How do senses work? How fast can a thought travel?
The book also looks at the brains of animals, insects, dinosaurs and robots!
There are fun experiments included in the book to learn more about how the brain works.
One of our favourite pages was looking at the brain inside a jumping spider and an Octopus. We loved attempting to test our Octopus intelligence (by rubbing our belly with one hand, patting our head with another, rotating one leg in the opposite direction to the one rubbing our tummy and attempting to recite the alphabet backwards!)
The information is brilliantly presented and the beautiful illustrations and layout make it extremely accessible and enjoyable to read.
This is a must have book for all school libraries as well as being a brilliant book to own at home. An important read for all the budding young scientists out there!

This book is such an amazing and informative read, it is completely eye catching and engrossing for adults and children alike. I found the book to be very engaging, especially for my son who has been asking to read it every night since we received the book.
This book has really helped develop a reading bond between me and my little one, as well as reading time
with him and his father. This book is very intriguing and fun, and my little on was asking lots of questions and pointing out different illustrations and objects in the book.
The activities that are included within are an absolute joy, especially some of the experiments, my little one was amazed by the illusions (“that's crazy mummy”) and I found myself and my husband having a debate over the train line illusion (they were both the same size may I point out!) Some
of my son’s favourites have now become party tricks, he is often telling people he knows he big their brain is now thanks to the hand measurement information!
This is such a fantastic learning resources for younger children, and I love the fact that it is written and illustrated (the illustrations are simply stunning by the way!) towards its target audience very well! I would easily recommend this to school, after school clubs and parents alike, this would make for a fantastic birthday or Christmas present!

A great book for all of our STEM-learners! This book really is full of brains with lots of experiments to test your own brain too!
From an in-depth, yet simple, explanation of the parts of the human brain and their functions we also get to find out about brains of animals, how hypnosis works and even the nervous system of plants!
As a STEM Ambassador I’m always interested to see books like this and see how comprehensive they are for smaller humans! And this book ticks all the boxes! With bright colours, great images, ease of reading and understanding and simple exercises for kids to partake in it’s impossible not to enjoy this. Even as an adult I have learned so much from reading this book, for example finding out the size of dinosaurs brains and that there is science to suggest that Tyrannosaurus Rex’s could have been as smart as a modern chimpanzee!
I can’t wait to share this book with my fellow STEM Ambassadors and also with my nieces and nephew – I think this is right up their street!
