“Thank you for sending me a copy of Get a Move On, Neuron!. I found it to be very readable, enjoyable and scientifically sound. I would think that this book would be quite appealing to children (12 years old, thereabouts)…The book is an assist to the field.”

—Past President of the Society for Neuroscience, Dr. Joseph Coyle

“...I was favorably impressed by the effort that you have put into the manuscript. As a former junior high school science teacher and a person concerned with communicating the importance of the nervous system to young people, Get a Move On, Neuron! struck me as an outstanding way to provide young readers with a book that brings the nervous system into their realm of existence. I congratulate you on your effort.”
