5.0 out of 5 stars A Great start for all budding brain surgeons!, 29 Dec 2006
By Snapdragon (London) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)      
I bought this book as a basic guide to the brain and it was absolutley brilliant (and it's not just for kids,this is great basic knowledge to use as a start point before you read the more complicated books!!)

It contains details about the basic structure of the brain and what happens when you are asleep, when you feel happy or sad and when you feel pain.

I loved it. The illustrations were good and the tone of the writing wasn't at all patronising. Great for anyone intersted in the brain of about 10 years and upwards.

Highly recommended!

(TOP 50 REVIEWER)   
n.b. This text reviews to the regular sized paperback edition of the book.

`This book is bulging with brain facts.....and by the time you have finished reading it your knowledge will be so vast you could easily become the brains of your class.........'

157 pages, split over 12 chapters:-

Bulging brain basics
Bulging brain boffins
Bulging brain bits `n' pieces
Startling senses
Bulging brain work
Loathsome learning
Mixed-up memory
Forceful feelings

written in a variety of fonts in the usual Nick Arnold entertaining style.
With fantastic fact files and quirky quizzes.
Black and white illustrations/cartoons throughout, as well as `Bet you never knew' fact-boxes and `Horrible Science Health Warnings'.

Science has never been so horrible!'
