Good Book Guide

Anyone who has ever wondered what goes on inside their brainbox will be fascinated by See Inside Your Head from Alex Frith and Colin King. Packed with more than 80 flaps to peer under, the most reassuring sentence is that there are so many things to see in our world we need to ignore most of it or risk going crazy. Now there's a good excuse - along with the fact that you can improve your skills just by thinking about them.
Find out such things as why the boy with the plastic leg still feels an itch in his foot and why your brain doesn't always work properly first thing in the morning. There's a whole raft of things you never knew you wanted to know. Intended for the eights-plus, this is a book for the whole family.

Newbury Weekly News

An utterly incredible book, fantastically illustrated (as you'd expect from Usborne) and with quite a broad appeal to a wide age range, a book that will be a valuable resource for your budding biologists to dip into.

Read it Daddy

Filled with flaps and masses of mindbending 'proper' psychology. My three-year-old son and I loved it.
