Overview
From sensing temperature and maintaining balance to knowing when you need to pee, your body is constantly sending messages to your brain about the world inside and around you.
Backed by a leading neuroscientist, this entertaining guide breaks down complex anatomy and STEM concepts into engaging, accessible lessons. Full of quirky illustrations, fab photos, and mind-bending optical illusions, kids aged 9–12 will uncover exactly how their brains process their surroundings.
Find answers to weird and wonderful questions about the quietest place on Earth, the science of ASMR, and why some people absolutely hate broccoli. Kids will also learn what part culture plays in the way they literally see the world, and how, in turn, their personality, thoughts, and relationships are shaped by the way they perceive their surroundings.
Get ready for hours of mind-boggling discovery with:
- Ground-Breaking Science: Learn how our senses truly work, how they interact, and how sound can actually change the way food tastes.
- Interactive Fun: Put those sensory superpowers to the test with loads of hands-on experiments and challenges to try on your own or with friends.
- Sensational Animal Facts: Go beyond the human body and find out how animals experience the world, from their unique vision to a powerful sense of smell.
Whether it’s tucked under the tree ready for Christmas morning or given as a birthday treat, this is a brilliant gift for curious kids who love learning about the human body.
