Sylvia Funston and Jan Ingram

illustrated by Gary Clement

Award-winning science writers Sylvia Funston and Jay Ingram team up with Governor General's Award-winning artist Gary Clement to explain how it really is "all in your head." First published in 1994 to acclaim as A Kids' Guide to the Brain, this book was awarded the Science in Society Children's Book Award by the Canadian Science Writer's Association and was a Canadian Children's Book Centre Our Choice selection. This edition has been nearly 50 percent updated to include the latest scientific knowledge.
It's All in Your Head introduces readers to the wonders of the brain and its myriad connections to the outside world. Thought-provoking information is presented in a lively format that's clear and relevant to kids. Engrossing experiments encourage kids to learn hands-on, while "Brain Benders" get deductive muscles working fully. A handy "User's Guide to the Brain" provides kids with a simple and accurate map of this grey matter, while "Last Thoughts" provides new ideas about the future of brain research.

"[Funston and Ingram] introduce complicated concepts so clearly, and with such creativity, that kids will absorb the knowledge without even knowing they are learning the biology of the brain." --Canadian Book Review Annual
