It encourages kids to think and question with fun pictures and rhymes. My personal favorite rhyme is ‘don’t you forget it’ with ‘genetics’.I collect kids books about science and this is a very welcome addition with a unique slant.Most important, my 5 year old loves it and asks me to read it again and again!I highly recommend this for a child in your life and also for daycares, preschools, elementary schools, libraries, science centers/museums, nature centers, children’s museums, little free libraries and other places children gather to read and listen to stories. |
