"Gr 2-5–This primer effectively covers the basic concepts of memory in a fun and unforgettable way. There are a wide range of topics including what a memory is; parts of the brain and memory; where memories go; memory in babies, children, adults, and seniors; plus, what gets remembered when memory breaks down. The more complex concepts are given two pages, and the text is conversational, factual, and engaging. Blocks of bold background colors and the consistent use of different font sizes and types are effective for the readability, organization, and flow of information. Some words and phrases are shown with visual emphasis, although it’s not always clear why. The text and illustrations seamlessly support and reinforce various concepts. Cartoon illustrations contain plenty of humor, engaging details, appropriate facial expressions, and a wide range of natural skin tones. The abundant illustrations are given sufficient white space so as not to feel cluttered or overwhelming. A short glossary and list of additional resources are included, although one entry, the podcast The Hidden Brain, is not suitable for elementary school children. VERDICT Purchase as needed for collection development or where the other title in the series, Our Incredible Imagination, does well." —Catherine Callegari, School Library Journal
