Part of a How My Body Works series, this title explains what the brain does and how it directs the rest of the body, written for young readers meeting the subject for the first time.
The text keeps to the basics: the main parts of the brain, the work of nerves and signals, how the senses feed information in, and how memory, movement and sleep all depend on it. Short explanations, simple vocabulary and illustrations make it usable for independent reading in the upper primary years or for reading together at home, and it suits school project work on the human body.
Core takeaways:
• An introduction to the brain and nervous system for children
• Part of a series covering the different systems of the human body
• Illustrated pages carrying short blocks of accessible text
• Handy for primary science homework and first science projects
A good pick for primary school readers, parents and school libraries, stocked at Boipoka.
