Review for Big Science for Little Minds: Brains

Brains John Devolle, A colourful brain and fingers pointing at it, children's book, non-fiction, brainsI received this book from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.

I just couldn’t resist this oh so colourful and fun looking book when I spotted it on Netgalley! Brains!!

In this adorable and super fun book we learn all about brains. But very simple and easily explained. Perfect for the smaller kids. A lot of these science books are more for the older kids, but this one is perfect for the smaller ones as the text (which is not a whole lot) is easy to follow and there are colourful illustrations everywhere. I love how the writer is able to keep it all very simple and fun and explain the brain to kids, which I know isn’t always easy, I know a lot of people who are just terrible at explaining things, haha. And it is not just about our brain, the human one and the nerves and all that, but also animals are getting mentioned which made me smile! I thought it was just going to be a book about brains of humans, so seeing animals was fun!

The illustrations were by far my favourite part of the book, the style was oodles of fun and I loved how colourful each page is. It is a feast for the eyes and I am sure that this also helps kids retain the information!

All in all, this is a perfect starter book for the little ones on brains. I see that there are other books as well (Planets, Atoms, Germs), but I hope that many more will follow. I would recommend them to parents and teachers.

Star rating, 4 stars
