Books of the week!

For our younger children...

This week’s book recommendation is from Mr MacInnes and is called The Book of the Brain and How it Works’ by Betina Ip.

Mr MacInnes writes:

This is a really cool book that explores how our brains work and explores just how amazing the brain is!

It uses fantastic illustrations and clear, simple metaphors to help explain the different jobs and responsibilities of our brains to young children.
