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!
