Ned’s Head
by Dr. Cargill H. Alleyne Jr., M.D.
Ned’s Head, the first in our series of educational children’s books, presents facts about the
human brain in an entertaining, colorful manner. The book, which won an Honorable
Mention at the Fall 2012 Royal Dragonfly book awards, consists of 16 limericks written by a
neurosurgeon. They are masterfully illustrated by two seasoned professionals, one of whom
has previously illustrated 12 Curious George books. A glossary at the end of the book provides
meanings and pronunciations of medical terms. There is also a small head hidden in each
illustration. We hope to spark children’s interest in the human body.
