Book Synopsis



2022 KIDS' BOOK CHOICE AWARDS WINNER FOR BEST INFO MEETS GRAPHICS!

Readers are welcomed to the Lobe Labs and Dr. Brain activities in this brightly illustrated, highly engaging book that uses science to answer interesting questions that kids have about the brain and human behavior.

This is a fun primer on psychology and neuroscience that makes complex psychological phenomenon and neural mechanisms relatable to kids through illustrations, interesting factoids, and more.

Chapters include: What is the brain made up of and how does it work? Why can't I tickle myself? Why do they shine a light in my eyes when I hit my head in the game?

Answers draw from both psychology and neuroscience, giving ample examples of how the science is relevant to the question and to the reader's life experiences.



Review Quotes




For those curious about why individuals can get an ice cream headache or why we can't tickle ourselves, the Big Brain Book: How It Works and All Its Quirks offers short, informed answers. But it is more than an answer-filled reference text. The Big Brain Book asks and answers questions, bringing readers along on a journey of discovery.... a resource for individuals who are seeking information about human development and functioning, regardless of their age...The Big Brain Book offers at least a little something for just about anyone wondering why we humans do and think some of the things we do.-- "Psychology Teacher Network, Reviewed by Rick Shifley, PhD, Health Psychology Program in the School of Arts & Sciences at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences"

Introducing a complicated and astounding natural computer. The science of the human brain and nervous system, and its myriad connections and functions, is addressed in a visually appealing format along with suggestions for experiments requiring little equipment... Gill's conversational, mildly humorous text is comprehensible and memorable... At once entertaining and remarkably informative.-- "Kirkus Reviews"
