Book Synopsis
This exciting book introduces kids to the science of psychology, with chapters on the brain, personality, intelligence, emotions, social relationships, and more.

Accompanied by colorful illustrations of psychology?s big ideas, and lots of hands-on experiments to try at home, there?s no better way to dive into the fascinating science of the mind.

Trade Review
This kid-friendly introduction to psychology describes what the science is, what psychologists do, and how they do it. Chapter by chapter, the authors, who are clinical psychologists, cover a broad range of topics including the brain, cognition, gender and identity, learning and growing, personality, intelligence, emotions, managing stress, and relationships. In short, readable, colorfully illustrated segments adorned with ample text boxes, they explain concepts and issues, offer examples of research, and suggest ways readers can do their own investigations… A useful and engaging overview of the science of mind and behavior. * Kirkus Reviews *
