Science Comics: The Brain: The Ultimate Thinking Machine by Tory Woollcott

3.0

This was a lot of what I learned in my college Biology of Behavior and Cognitive Processes classes all condensed into a single comic with the addition of an evil brain robot. There is a /ton/ of information and vocabulary, none of it dumbed down in the slightest for the kids, and honestly even though I technically learned this stuff already I still think I'd have to read this book several times to really absorb it all. I don't know how much kids will get out of it, since sometimes all the complicated terminology could feel a little overwhelming, but the illustrations were fun and lively, the framing story engaging, and the jokes actually funny, so I think this can be a great learning tool. Honestly, this probably would have been helpful for me when studying for tests for those classes. I can see myself using this for my hypothetical future homeschooled children.
