In this Britannica guide to the human brain, the complex biology behind thought and sensation is explained in a way that is clear and comprehensive for lower elementary readers. Each part of the brain and its function is presented with diagrams and eye-catching images that help navigate the anatomy of the brain. Most important, Compare and Contrast and Think About It sidebars invite readers to connect ideas and make logical inferences based on the text—both key components of the Common Core Readiness standards for reading.

      Gr 2-4-These mediocre introductions to major (nonreproductive) body organs pair dryly generalized descriptions of anatomical structures and their functions with a mix of often drably colored graphic images and obviously posed photos of young people coughing, playing sports or taking part in some other relevant activity. Though each volume closes with remarks on the benefits of healthy behavior and habits, each also includes one or more potentially disquieting chapters on diseases and disorders. Aspects of these books are sure to leave readers confused, such as a bald statement in Eyes that "Eye color is different for every person" and a schematic picture in Heart that could be construed as depicting capillaries and veins as the same size. Stomach includes a chapter on animal digestion that seems to be filler, as other volumes stick to human anatomy. The back matter includes adequate resource lists, but no review or study questions. VERDICT Lackluster additions.
