Press & Blog Reviews
This is a children's book, filled with flaps and masses of mindbending 'proper' psychology. My three-year-old son and I loved it.
Psychologist magazine
The great thing about a book like See Inside Your Head is that it covers how the brain and our emotions work – fascinating stuff that children will hold a natural curiosity for.
Junior Education Plus
An interactive lift-the-flap book with quirky ‘lemming’ style characters that delves inside the remarkable goings-on of the human brain.
Junior Education Plus
Anyone who has ever wondered what goes on inside their brainbox will be fascinated by See Inside Your Head from Alex Frith and Colin King. Packed with more than 80 flaps to peer under, the most reassuring sentence is that there are so many things to see in our world we need to ignore most of it or risk going crazy. Now there’s a good excuse – along with the fact that you can improve your skills just by thinking about them.
Find out such things as why the boy with the plastic leg still feels an itch in his foot and why your brain doesn’t always work properly first thing in the morning. There’s a whole raft of things you never knew you wanted to know. Intended for the eights-plus, this is a book for the whole family.

This came in very handy when we asked why our friend can't see very well. My four year old can read most of this on his own. The short paragraphs and flaps make it really interesting. This is beautiful, proper brain science for beginners.

This book is excellent - I work for the brain injury rehab trust and initially bought this to educate my children - however I found it was a great resource for the children of our service users and their families. It's interactive / bright / fun and thought provoking - would recommend as a resource for all.
