A review by ultranurd
Science Comics: The Brain: The Ultimate Thinking Machine by Tory Woollcott

3.5

Light and quick and crammed with facts. Reminiscent of the Earth Before Us series but without quite as much humor. I learned a few things I never got in detail (even taking a neuroscience course in grad school). I think it would have been better to be slightly longer with more transitions... it's pretty rapid fire, but it is for kids. Might spark more questions about how our brains work!

I liked the emphasis near the end on different types of intelligence and not just recalling facts which is one stereotypical view. Also entertaining legally distinct from Girl Scout Cookies story framing.
