this book talks about how the brain works and grows, and also talks about the importance of growth mindset! I thought that this was a positive read that could help to inspire and motivate students with their learning

This book teaches kids about their brains in a way they can understand. It's perfect for primary and early middle school students. It shows how our brains work and grow, and it's great for teaching a growth mindset.

The illustrative book gives facts about the brain in an appropriate manner for primary and intermediate students. It talks about different parts of the brain such as the cerebellum and hippocampus. It talks about what brains are capable of doing and what they help us do. The illustrations make reading this book so fun. I would love to use this in an intermediate classroom when we are learning about the body such as bones. I think this book does a great job at expanding thinking and introducing advanced ideas/topics.

Book for primary/ early middle school. Book with facts about how the brain works and grows in a way children can understand. Great for teaching a growth mindset.

- I would use with any age group!
- This is a very interesting book because it is a picture book but it also shows how the brain works with pretty finite detail! Love it!

This books main focus is on the different functions of the brain. It talks about how neurons are how we make connections and learn, as well as many other concepts about growth mindset I think this would be a great book to use as a read aloud / lesson for young kids, and break the concepts up into multiple lessons. But I also think this could work for upper elementary when going over a lesson about growth mindset and how it works.

This book was about the structure and function of the brain. It also talked about growth mindset.
I would use this book in science & growth mindset topics in my 2nd-4th grade classroom.

This book is great for students at an intermediate level. It has many information and illustrative pages about the brain and how it works in our bodies. I would love to introduce this book to my classroom as a read-aloud to inform my students about the brain so they are able to to understand the different parts of it and how they work.

This is a great book for primary and intermediate readers. This is a cute book about the brain and what it does and how important it is. This would be great for science or health class as well. This was a very educational book about what the brain does and how much every part of it is important just like you!

I think this book would be good for primary and intermediate level students. It can help them learn about what their brain does. This book is detailing certain things about what the brain does and its functions. Including the scientific parts of the brain like the cerebellum is described in the book.

Ages 4 and up, science

A very informative book about the brain, thinking, and positive mindset and how to use all three to achieve a growth mindset and use your brain to help you learn the most.

I really enjoyed this book because it explained different parts of your brain and used medical terms but in a way that would be easy for young children to understand. The book talked about how important it is to try new things and stretch your brain and that it is possible to shape your brain. I think this would be good for mid primary students so they will be able to better grasp the terms used in the book.

This is a sweet book about a little girl who is learning all about different ways of thinking about things, and that not everyone is the same. I think this book would be great for young primary grades for a story time book. I really enjoyed it, and I think kids will as well.

This book talks about the functions of the brain and how it works for your whole body. Each page is filled with information and Q/A about the brain and what it does. The brain is a foundational piece to the human body, and this book shows how much your brain can do for you! I think this would be a great book to use as a read aloud / lesson, as well as a great piece for a mindset lesson. Great for upper elementary!

This book explains the functions of the brain and how learning new things leading up to and around age 10 accelerates the growth of the brain. This book could serve as a really cool motivator for students when it comes to learning and could be a great book to use when teaching growth mindset. This book would be appropriate for early to intermediate readers.

The book is about the brain and what it does such as thinking, move your body, and it is an organ in you body. It then discusses the different aspects of the brain and tier functions. I would recommend the book because it has a message that it is okay to make mistakes and learn something new. It also provides helpful information about the brain. This book would be great for 2nd graders or a read aloud for 1st to 3rd graders.½

This is a great book to teach students about the brain, and the illustrations help tell the information in an engaging way. The book also teaches about having growth mindsets, and I think this would be a great read-aloud if you are talking to students about developing this kind of mindset. This book would be great for 2nd/4th graders because of the length of the book, younger students may not be able to sit and listen for as long.½

This is an informational book for children about your brain and how it allows your body to function! The book includes fun and colorful illustrations that highlight different parts of the brain and make it easy and relatable for children to understand. This book would be best for primary students.

This book was required summer reading for all 6th-8th grade students at my daughter's school. It was also recommended that the parents read it, so I did. It's quite short with lots of illustrations, and therefore touches only pretty lightly on the topic, but the information is good. I would probably recommend that if your child is curious about the psychological processes that accompany adolescence that you may wish to pair this title with an additional book of greater depth.
