Reviews:
How to Be a Genius: Your Brain and How to Train It is the ultimate children’s encyclopedia on the amazing human brain and its workings. This lavishly illustrated, endlessly entertaining and informative tome is sure to provide hours of fun and learning.
Here you can learn about the structure of the human brain, the way the different senses function, and how our memory, imagination, and logical abilities work. The information is presented in the inimitable and clear style, supported by lots of well-chosen illustrations, that readers have come to expect from this publisher.
Many fun and challenging mini-games that pepper the book simultaneously entertain and educate. Each section contains fascinating portraits of famous people such as Mahatma Gandhi, Albert Einstein, Charles Darwin and Leonardo da Vinci.
The last two sections of the book deal with how the brain influences our personalities and how the brain has evolved are particularly interesting, comparing the thinking of animals, humans and computers, for instance. This is an encyclopedia that parents and children will enjoy reading together.

Little kids may always want to know why things happen, but older kids are fascinated by how things happen. This busy and colorful book answers all their questions about the human brain – everything from how neurons make connections to how optical illusions work.
For this particular non-fiction book, the publisher drops it's trademark black on white text with color photos and instead fills the pages with vibrant cartoons and the occasional photo or detailed illustration. This works well for the topic, as much of what needs to be explained are processes and theories rather than examples of particular objects. The book is also liberally sprinkled with pages encouraging tweens to test their skills or improve their memory.
In general, this book is interesting and informative and will keep readers turning the pages and even eager to share what they’ve learned with others.
