Eric's Brain Elementary

Meet Eric.  At school, he's learning about the brain and all of its functions, but the long lecture about things that are too hard to pronounce is making him sleepy!  The next thing he knows, Eric finds himself at Eric's Brain Elementary, where he meets Pablo the Pons, who shows Eric around his brain and introduces him to Theo the Thalamus and all of the other "friends" who help him to play soccer, decide what he wants for lunch, learn math, and be HIMSELF.  This lively narrative teaches children about the brain's complex functions and promotes awareness of their health and bodies.  So, tag along with Eric and his friends and learn about your busy brain!
