Customer Reviews

Cute and informative

My nine year old son liked this book very much, even though this is geared for a slightly younger set. He did some of the experiments and read this numerous times (by choice). The short articles, fun facts and cute illustrations hold kid's attention well. It explains baby's behavior well and give them some idea of what to expect.

What a great book!

This book is perfect to explain what a new baby will be like to a sibling-to-be. It shows (in large pictures and fairly simple text) how babies eat (shows breast feeding and bottle feeding), how much they sleep, what they see and hear, how they learn to crawl, walk, and begin to talk...pretty much covers it all!

A super book for children curious to know how babies work.

Baby Science is a wonderful book, not only for children who have a new baby in their lives, but for adults as well. This book will help to explain some of the wonderful, fascinating, and intriguing things everyone with a baby in their life will be interested in knowing. Though written for children, this book has wonderful adult appeal as well, with lots of great facts and interesting comments from the author.Included throughout the book are things for children to do to see the world from baby's perspective, including, rather than excluding, sibs and others in the process of learning how babies really work.In addition, colourful photographs of babies and accompanying illustrations add a nice visual appeal. I highly recommend this book.

A fun book for new big brothers and sisters!

Baby Science is a fun, informative book appropriate for any child, especially those who are welcoming a new sibling or cousin into the family. The photographs are bright and cheerful, and the text is written in just the right voice. Many children don't know what to expect from a baby. What does a baby eat? What does a baby do all day? Baby Science explains it all, and even offers little experiments for the big brothers and sisters to try out on the newest member of the family!
