MOTHER'S DAY SPECIALS! SHOW ME MORE
ABBEY'S BOOKSELLER PICK ----- Another wonderful book from the playful author/illustrator, this time poking around the mysterious lump of not-so-grey matter that is your brain. He starts with entertaining factoids, progresses on to the physical functions that are More Than Mind and the bits that perform them, the intricacies of the nervous system, the way the brain actually works, and even an owner's manual for taking care of your marvellous brain! With his trademark illustrations, sly jokes, silly asides (and gentle lessons about tolerance and understanding) but most of all, his accurate and fascinating information, this is another winning combination of fact and fun for young readers.

Philip Bunting is an author and illustrator, with a soft spot for creating picture books for sleep-deprived, time-poor, raisin-encrusted parents (and their children). Philip’s work deliberately encourages playful interaction between the reader and child, allowing his books to create a platform for genuine intergenerational engagement and fun. He believes that the more fun the child has during their early reading experiences, the more likely they will be to return to books, improve their emergent literacy skills, and later find joy in reading and learning. Philip’s books have been translated into multiple languages and published in more than 25 countries around the world. Since his first book was published in 2017, Philip has received multiple accolades, including Honours from the Children’s Book Council of Australia, and making the list for the Kate Greenaway Medal in 2018. Philip grew up in the England’s Lake District and now lives with his young family in the hills behind Noosa.
