I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley。A sequel to Your Fantastic Elastic Brain。 Readers learn what happens inside our brains when we sleep。 The authors discuss and illustrate the various parts of the brain that remain active through the night to keep us alive and process the memories from the day。 The informative text is presented at an elementary processing level。 The artwork offers support for the text and gives readers another way to see the information and eval I received an electronic ARC from SOURCEBOOKS Kids through NetGalley。A sequel to Your Fantastic Elastic Brain。 Readers learn what happens inside our brains when we sleep。 The authors discuss and illustrate the various parts of the brain that remain active through the night to keep us alive and process the memories from the day。 The informative text is presented at an elementary processing level。 The artwork offers support for the text and gives readers another way to see the information and evaluate what they have learned。 A must have addition for school libraries。 。。。more

It’s amazing how much material this book covers in a fun and readable manner。 While elementary school-aged kiddos are probably its best match， I quite enjoyed the refresher course on sleep and brain function。 The illustrations are cute and accessible for a wide range of ages。 I spent much of college studying parts of the brain， and wish my textbooks （and professors！） had been this engaging。 Thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS kids for access to the ARC。

My seven year old and I read this one together and really enjoyed it！ She loved seeing the kids in the illustrations doing things she does， like play soccer。 The illustrations were also super colorful and engaging。 She loves to learn about how her body works and this book did a great job of explaining it in a way that made sense to kids， while still keeping the correct names of parts of the brain and functions。 Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca for a copy of this through their early reads program My seven year old and I read this one together and really enjoyed it！ She loved seeing the kids in the illustrations doing things she does， like play soccer。 The illustrations were also super colorful and engaging。 She loves to learn about how her body works and this book did a great job of explaining it in a way that made sense to kids， while still keeping the correct names of parts of the brain and functions。 Thanks to Sourcebooks Casablanca for a copy of this through their early reads program。 。。。more

Thank you to Sourcebooks for the advanced electronic review copy of this wonderful book。 In a child friendly language this highly informative book describes different functions of the brain and the importance of rest to retain newly learned information。 Looking forward to sharing it with my upper elementary students。

My kiddo is only 4 years old so this book is just a little bit advanced for her。 However， we were still able to look at the pictures and I summarized some of the pages to make it more comprehensible for her。 She has been really curious about why she needs to sleep and what is happening while she is sleeping， so this is the perfect resource！ I also really appreciated how inclusive the images were。 Many thanks to the author for thinking of this。 Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Kids and NetGalley for the My kiddo is only 4 years old so this book is just a little bit advanced for her。 However， we were still able to look at the pictures and I summarized some of the pages to make it more comprehensible for her。 She has been really curious about why she needs to sleep and what is happening while she is sleeping， so this is the perfect resource！ I also really appreciated how inclusive the images were。 Many thanks to the author for thinking of this。 Thank you to SOURCEBOOKS Kids and NetGalley for the opportunity to access this free e-arc in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more

This is a lovely picture book to teach children all about the brain and how the different areas of our functioning connect back to the brain。 As a child psychologist， I am always on the lookout for great mental health resources for kids， and I must say this one is a fantastic one。 Not only does it teach children about the brain through fun visuals， but it also brings in important ideas about thoughts， feelings， and sleep。 The more we know about our bodies and the important role of the brain， the This is a lovely picture book to teach children all about the brain and how the different areas of our functioning connect back to the brain。 As a child psychologist， I am always on the lookout for great mental health resources for kids， and I must say this one is a fantastic one。 Not only does it teach children about the brain through fun visuals， but it also brings in important ideas about thoughts， feelings， and sleep。 The more we know about our bodies and the important role of the brain， the more we can feel empowered and find ways to regulate when we experience difficult times。 。。。more

I am impressed by how well this book delivers so much information in a way that is easy to understand even for children。 I am not a subject matter expert but from what I know everything in this book is correct and nothing important is missing。 This might be a nice summary even for adults。Another big plus is all the representation in this little book。 I had already almost finished the book when I noticed a girl with a headscarf and a girl in a wheelchair in one picture。 I scrolled back and found I am impressed by how well this book delivers so much information in a way that is easy to understand even for children。 I am not a subject matter expert but from what I know everything in this book is correct and nothing important is missing。 This might be a nice summary even for adults。Another big plus is all the representation in this little book。 I had already almost finished the book when I noticed a girl with a headscarf and a girl in a wheelchair in one picture。 I scrolled back and found children with different skin and hair color， different faces， different clothing。 Without me even noticing it this book showed me many different ways of being human。Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC！ 。。。more

We learned so much about how our brains work， especially while we sleep。 It’s so important to get enough sleep and it was a good reminder for my kids why it’s important they get enough sleep。 There is a lot of information presented， but in a way that’s easy for kids and parents to understand。 The illustrations were colorful and child friendly。

I absolutely love this book！ Goodnight to your Fantastic Elastic Brain does an excellent job explaining brain function and sleep to young children。 My daughter is particularly interested in the brain and is often asking me many questions that this book answers。 For parents it's also a great tool because it explains to children many of the reasons why sleep is important！ This would be a great book to read before bed so kids feel ready and excited about getting a good nights sleep。 In the classroo I absolutely love this book！ Goodnight to your Fantastic Elastic Brain does an excellent job explaining brain function and sleep to young children。 My daughter is particularly interested in the brain and is often asking me many questions that this book answers。 For parents it's also a great tool because it explains to children many of the reasons why sleep is important！ This would be a great book to read before bed so kids feel ready and excited about getting a good nights sleep。 In the classroom this would be a great picture book to read with elementary aged kids。 At a young age students will understand some of the broader ideas， while older children can understand more of the details。 The illustrations are a great companion to the facts and information。 The pictures make lots of confusing body functions tangible to children。 This book was such a delight！ I can't wait until it's released so I can check it out of the library to read with my kids。 Thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebook Kids for giving me this sneak peak of this ebook！ 。。。more

Little scientists will love this book about how their brains work。 The book shares information about why sleep is important， all the parts of the brain， and even explains how to pronounce some of the difficult words。 Upper elementary and even middle school students will enjoy the bright colors and matter of fact explanations about the various bodily functions controlled by the brain。

Drs Deak and Deak explain the importance of sleep on the functions of the ever-amazing brain in this full color， engaging non-fiction book geared to younger elementary-aged readers。 The vocabulary is challenging but the context is rich and the Photoshopped illustrations guide comprehension of what the brain does and why good sleep is critical to its function。 Excellent selection for libraries serving grades 2-4 with high readership in the non-fiction collection。Thanks for the finished copy， Sour Drs Deak and Deak explain the importance of sleep on the functions of the ever-amazing brain in this full color， engaging non-fiction book geared to younger elementary-aged readers。 The vocabulary is challenging but the context is rich and the Photoshopped illustrations guide comprehension of what the brain does and why good sleep is critical to its function。 Excellent selection for libraries serving grades 2-4 with high readership in the non-fiction collection。Thanks for the finished copy， Sourcebooks Library！ 。。。more
