What Goes On in My Head?

A lively child’s tour of the brain

This is a brilliant pick for a curious child who keeps asking why people think, feel, sleep, and behave the way they do. It makes a complex subject feel exciting and approachable, with vivid illustrations, surprising facts, and little challenges that make learning feel hands-on. Readers would probably love how it treats the brain like an amazing mystery to explore rather than just a school topic.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Discover why you do what you do. Join Professor Robert Winston and introduce your child to the most powerful, complicated computer network that exists—the brain. This book explains what the different parts of the brain do and why it changes at different life stages, and why sleep is so important for us. It is packed with illustrations and fascinating facts like why birdsong is similar to human speech and what makes animals yawn, as well as fun brainteasers to test your child's memory, perception, reasoning, and reactions.
