Usborne Book of the Brain and How It Works

This visually astonishing story takes children on a journey into and through the brain. Simple but beautifully illustrated metaphors explain the different jobs that our brains do, and how they use brain cells to accomplish them. From the senses to sleep, memories to making decisions, this book brings the wonder of brains and brain science to life. Conceived, written and designed by Dr Betina Ip, a pracitising neuroscientist who is also an artist, and a parent of two young children. Combines anatomical illustrations with metaphorical representations of brain at work. An information book that has the look and feel of a picture book.
