Fantastic Elastic Brain

Did you know your brain can stretch and grow your whole life? Kids will learn all about the brain with this fun book. Read the full book review!

Brain, Caregivers, Parenting, Reading, Social Emotional Health

What it’s about:

 

This is a fun, playful book that helps kids understand the complex brain. “The brain controls everything you do, everything you think, everything you feel… even everything you dream.” With cool illustrations and fun facts sprinkled throughout each page, kids can learn a very big subject in a very simple way.

 

What we love about it:

 

Brains are important! Kids learn all about their different body parts – eyes so you can see, ears so you can hear – but so often, we skip the most important body part of all: the brain. When kids learn what their brain does, and more importantly, that they can control their brain, it gives them an incredible sense of power. This book talks about how our brains stretch and grow our whole lives, and that we can train our brains to be fit and strong.
