Great Photos!

This is a very good introduction to the brain and its functions. The book has numerous high quality photos of the brain, CT/MRI,spinal cord/nerves and more. Neuroscience is made fun for both kids and adults!

The Brain, The Brain!

I love Seymour Simon's books and his series on the body is no exception. I do guided reading and independent reading in my ESOL class and have a Bosnian student who is going to go nuts about this book. She loves non-fiction.

The Brain : Our Nervous System.

Excellent health/well being book with a great step by step introduction to the brain, its parts, how it works and the memory. The pictures are the best part. Contains excellent color illustrations and will be of interest to students from the 4th grade through the 9th grade. It's also a recommended read for the teachers.
