'You & Your Strange Brain: A Book of Brains, How they Work, and Sometimes Don't' by Clive Gifford and Anne Wilson is a non-fiction book about our brains for younger readers.
The book is divided in to three sections then divided in to quick chapters that include pictures, descriptions and even fun experiments to do. Along the way, the reader will learn what the brain operates in the body, how a brain develops over the years and how the brain works to protect us and help us be creative.
I liked this science book for younger readers and even did a few of the experiments as I reviewed the book. The information presented is in digestible chunks and includes color illustrations.
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - QEB Publishing, words & pictures, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.

Thank you Quarto Publishing Group - QEB Publishing & NetGalley for the eARC of You & Your Strange Brain!
You & Your Strange Brain: A Book of Brains, How they Work and Sometimes Don't by Clive Gifford is an illustrated, Browse (coffee table) style book look at the brain. I think its prime audience is Middle Years KS3/4. It is informative and entertaining, and a book adults would enjoy sharing with readers. The layout of the book with informative illustrations and factual bites make it easy to digest. This by no means dumbs the book down.
The book is interactive, as there are several "Brain Lab" breaks through the book that ask you to stop reading and test your brain to understand the concepts being discussed. I found myself doing these even before being asked to try it out! At the end of the book there are extra treats, more Brain Teasers. a find out more page with suggestions for further reading and websites to look at, and a Glossary and Index.
