Review
Full of information about your brain, this book is great for anyone who is eager to learn. The authors use analogies that would be easily understood by middle grade children. The information is accurate and interesting. The illustrations are fun and informative! Even as a college student who has taken classes in similar subjects, I learned a few new things. I am so impressed by the quality of this book.Final Statements
