Your Fantastic Elastic Brain by preventive psychologist, Dr. JoAnn Deak, is a neat explanation of the human brain, with great visual examples of how each part directs who we are. Sarah Ackerley's illustrations are sometimes laugh-out-loud funny, and especially the owl and mouse characters with their background comments like, "wow, that pink stuff is busy!" Kids and parents will also appreciate the concept that making mistakes is a good thing, because it helps your brain grow bigger and stronger. Gee, now there's a concept we can all take away! This book is a must for elementary school teachers.
Tap and explore with the animated owl and mouse characters through out the book.
