Overview

Ned's Head is the first in our series of educational children's books. It presents facts about the human brain in an entertaining, colorful manner. The book consists of 16 verses in limerick form. The verses are written by a neurosurgeon and they are masterfully illustrated by two seasoned professionals, one of whom who has previously illustrated 12 Curious George books. In addition to the facts presented, there is a glossary at the end of the book which provides both meanings of the medical terms as well as pronunciations. There is also a small head hidden in the detail of each illustration for the reader to discern. We hope that the text will promote the habit of parents, caregivers and teachers reading with their children. We also hope that it will spark children's interest in the human body.
