Book SynopsisKatie Daynes (Author) Katie has been writing non-fiction children's books for almost half her life and loves questioning the world from a child's point of view. She's developed some of Usborne's bestselling series, including the See Inside books and Lift-the-flap Questions & Answers. When she's not writing, she likes drinking coffee, walking on the moors and playing competitive board games with her children.Trade ReviewIt would be impossible to praise this series too highly. * The Bookseller *A smart, fun, exciting, interactive introduction to what is arguably the most fascinating topic of scientific study, the human body. The flap panels encourage the reader to participate in the journey into the hidden wonders that our body has to offer, taking them deeper into the functionality and intricate detail of our tissues. With a perfect balance of scientific terminology and simplistic explanations of the various systems in our bodies, the young anatomist will find this book informative and stimulating. It’s a superb introduction to the human body! * Dr. Gemma Balmer *Two that my daughter (nearly five) adores and goes back to again and again are See Inside Your Body by Katie Daynes (£8.99) and The Flip-Flap Body Book (£7.99, both Usborne). The first is fairly detailed, and it covers eating, excreting, bones, muscles and the senses and has lift-up flaps. It’s really good for learning about food and what happens to it. You can read out the simpler bits and go into more details as she gets older. If you were to buy just one book for her that would be right for her now and last for a couple more years, this would be my recommendation. The Flip-Flap Body Book covers food and digestion, the sense and how babies are made in a very basic fashion (note: each of these topics is the subject of a separate book that goes into more detail and costs £4.99) but it’s very accessible and aimed at young children. * Annalisa Barbieri - The Guardian - Best chilren's books on the human body *This is a great book for introducing children to the inner workings of the human body. It is especially good for children with why and how questions about what happens in their bodies. The lift flaps are excellent at keeping the books and content interactive and entertaining. * Toppsta Reader Review *An entertaining book... Parents will learn a thing or two along the way, as well. * Sunday Express *Table of Contents1 Your amazing body2 Eating and excreting3 Breathing air4 Pumping blood5 Bones and muscles6 Brain power7 The senses8 Drinking and weeing9 Body words

Book SynopsisTrade ReviewThis vibrant book is written by neurodivergent author and neurodiversity champion Louise Gooding. It is an excellent tool to help children understand both themselves and their peers. The language is clear and positive, complemented by colourful illustrations to show how no two brains are the same and that all brains should be celebrated.It's full of facts and figures as well as brief biographies of some well known neurodiverse personalities. It covers all different aspects of neurodiversity from dyslexia to ADHD. There are some self help pages on brain care and next steps as well as a very useful glossary to help decode some of the complex vocabulary. As ever with DK, it is a great book which is incredibly helpful for both home and school. -- Tash Hyde * Read for Good *No brain in the world is exactly the same as another, and they all function in their own special ways.Divided into four sections: Wonderfully working brains, which explains how brains work and which bit does what; Wonderfully diverse brains, which explains a variety of neurodiverse conditions such as ADHD, autism, dyscalculia, synaesthesia, OCD, tics, dyslexia and many more; Wonderfully wired history, which shows the timeline of neurodiversity awareness and showcases some brilliant brains from history; and the final section, Wonderfully wired people, which tells readers about a selection of modern-day neurodiverse writers, YouTubers, composers, coders and TV personalities.There's also a useful appendix of words and brain terminology at the back of the book, with a note from Louise to young readers that acknowledges the uniqueness of everyone's brain and their journey in life. Readers are reminded that when they have questions about themselves or about any topics in the book, they should ask an adult - and that there's so much more to learn about how our brains work.Louise Gooding, herself a neurodiverse creator, has ADHD, and this authenticity of experience shines through in her writing. This is a welcoming and down to earth look at neurodiversity for mid to older primary aged children, and a tremendously useful resource that sadly has been all too lacking until now. Highly recommended for all. * Booktrust *
