The perfect book for your young future doctor!
Written by physicians, Neurology for Kidsis a charming, easy-to-understand introduction to the organ that allows you to think: the brain. With its beautiful illustrations and simple explanations, this book teaches children (and adults alike!) about the anatomy, physiology, and diseases of the nervous system. This can be a learning resource for kids, white elephant gift adults, or gag gift for medical students. This installment of the Medical School for Kids book series is the best way to introduce basic concepts in neurology to our next generation of doctors.
In this book, you will learn about...
- Structure of a neuron (dendrites, axons, etc.)
- Anatomy and functions of the brain
- Role of the spinal cord and nerves
- Common neurologic diseases such as strokes, dementia, and epilepsy
- Diagnostic tests such as CT and MRI scans
... and more!

Exceptionnel
As a mom, I have gotten many educational books for my two kids, and this is definitely one of the best. The book is very colorful and has wonderful illustrations of neurons and the brain. Most of the book is focused on describing the functions of each part of the brain, but it also teaches kids about common neurological diseases like dementia and epilepsy, which I think are very important for kids to be familiar with. I love how educational this book is and wish it was around when I was growing. Will definitely be getting more from this series!
My wife and I have gotten tons of science books for our boys, but this book is very unique. Somehow, the authors were able to cover so much real medical information in the format of a picture book that’s both engaging for kids and easy to understand. I’m fairly certain that most (non-medical) parents reading this will learn something new. My sons love the comparison of the different parts of a neuron to the parts of a tree. My oldest even started to point at trees and say “axon” and “dendrites” whenever we go on walks outside!
Perfect to explain epilepsy to children and how the brain functions
Love this and both girls love it so much!
Too simplistic for my needs
Great book
Book is well made
Great definitions great explanations easy for kids to understand and adults who may not Very informative would definitely recommend great quality and learning tool
Right level of information and detail for my 2 and 4 year olds - could probably go from K-3rd grade depending on the kids. Love that it has knowledge checks in the back (i.e., let's see what you remember questions).
It's very easy for kids to digest although we did take a bit of a break before the stroke/heart attack section to let them digest what was being said.
This whole Medical School for Kids series is FANTASTIC! I've read every book they have released so far (through Urology) with my first-grader, and my 3rd-grader likes to read the series on his own. The concepts are presented in a fairly straightforward way with diagrams (though there are some that are definitely a little too difficult to read without the parent further breaking down the material to simpler language/connections ("Endocrinology" is probably one of the most difficult of the lot for a younger child)."Neurology", however, was my younger son's absolute favorite of this series. After we read it, he borrowed additional books on both the brain and nervous system from his school's library to find out more about them! One of the really neat things the book does is at the end breaks down some common ailments/diseases/injuries regarding the topic, including how they are diagnosed and treated, and in a not-scary way for young kids. My son has had a neurologist before so he was fascinated at the part where they talked about and showed a picture of EEGs (electroencephalograms) and MRIs. It was the first time he has seen those diagnostic tests in a kid's book before. Highly recommend this series, and especially "Neurology."
This book will not be a must for all children, but it is the perfect tool for those curious about what makes us work. I also see it as a helpful and entertaining tool for teachers trying to explain the works of a brain.
Medical School for Kids is the kind of series kids love reading and adults love receiving as a gift for their kids. The illustrations are as vibrant as they appear online which is sure to keep your child engaged while learning.I recently bought Neurology for kids for my coworker who has a 3 month old son and was recently accepted into medical school. I really couldn't think of a more perfect gift. I'm excited to buy more for family and friends.
We need more books like these! Children are able to handle big vocabulary! Lays great foundation! Wish I had these earlier in my homeschooling years with my children!
As a neurologist, I have to say I am a HUGE fan of this book. The illustrations and explanations are fantastic and it's a good starter about the brain FOR ANY AGE. Appreciate the depth of the book but also how simple it is. Already have my colleagues getting it for their children!
We have each one in the series but this is by far my sons favourite. They are fun, educational and easy to read!
Covers the topics you'd expect to see, would definitely recommend
This is one of the best children’s books about the brain I’ve seen (and one of the few written by actual doctors)! The diagrams of the different parts of the brain are gorgeous and informative. There are fun pictures next to each part of the brain showing their functions. I especially loved the “warning signs of a stroke” page, which I think is very important for kids to know. I will say that some of the words were impossible for me to pronounce (like electroencephalogram), but I appreciated the glossary and pronunciation guide at the end. 100% recommend this book!
I absolutely love this book for my kids- it’s a really fun way to introduce kids to medicine and biology. The pictures are great and this book does a great job breaking down complex topic and making them clear and easy to understand. As someone in the medical field, love the content 10/10
