Bright, bold cartoon illustrations accompany simple texts, providing excellent descriptions of how the lungs and brain function. Breathe also includes a brief explanation of asthma and inhalers, a labeled diagram of the lungs and diaphragm, breathing activities, and information about stethoscopes. Think explains that a concussion is a brain injury that comes from bumping one's head really hard. Pictures and text encourage the use of a helmet when riding a bicycle or playing rough games. A labeled diagram of the brain; an activity involving right- or left-handedness; and brief facts about the use of EEGs, MRIs, and CT scans are included. These titles are ideal for classroom use.-- School Library Journal This educational title is a smart kindergarten through third grade introduction to the brain, the wonderful organ that controls all of our thoughts, feelings and movements. Using bright and bold illustrations, this attractive picture book is one in a new series of fun narrative primers called The Amazing Body. The simple, engaging text effectively captures young minds while the friendly illustrations- both diagrams and scenes of kids doing everyday things- draws them in like good storybooks. The series is aligned with the standard, The Human Organism: Basic Functions, as required by the National Standards for History. Recommended for classroom and library use for ages 5-9.-- The Midwest Book Review- Bookwatch
