The Great Big Brain Book

The Great Big Brain Book introduces children to the brain and how it works through simple informative sections which are accompanied by bright and funny illustrations. My 6 year old was completely absorbed by this book and loved looking through it by himself. If you are looking for a simple overview of the brain which young children can read and understand for themselves, this is perfect.

The Great Big Brain Book explains what the brain is, how the brain grows, and many functions of the brain.

With insightful facts and illustrations to support the text. Points are made simply, in an easy way to understand.

At the end is a glossary under the title of ‘Some Useful Words’, great for building vocabulary and comprehension.

Excellent as a starting entry point into learning about the brain.

Thank you to NetGalley and Quatro Publishing Group for the e-arc.

this is a lovely book for primary age children to help their understanding and vocabulary around all things 'brain'! The illustrations are just lovely and the book itself is well written.

The sections are divided up very logically and I found the amount of text to be just right for this age group it is targeted at.

My thanks to Net Galley, author and publisher for the opportunity too review this book in exchange for an advance copy.

Creativity, balance, language and emotion. Just four of the many jobs are Great Big Brains do. In this fantastic little book, children are introduced to the wonderful organ that is their brain. With bright pictures and informative sections, children can learn all about their brain and a little about how it works. This book also sensitively introduces some of the things that can go wrong with brains, which would be something to be mindful of if using in the classroom. I will definitely consider using this book as part of science lessons with primary school children when learning about the body.

Both my own children, and those in my classroom, loved this book. We’ve read it a number of times now and we arrive at different topics for discussion each time. It’s well laid out and illustrated with great facts that children find incredibly interesting. I highly recommend this book for the primary school classroom.
