Organic Chemistry for Babies: A STEM Learning Book for Babies from the #1 Science Author for Kids (Gifts for Toddlers, Teachers, and Med School Students) (Baby University)

We bought this board book for our not yet born grandson. We will read it to him when he is 1-3 years old. Right now, we can read it. This book simplifies Organic as far as you possibly can. It uses simple language and colorful illustrations to give the reader an idea of what organic chemistry is. Basically, atoms are balls of different kinds. Atoms make up everything. Atoms can stick to each other, and they can make different shapes. The balls we call carbon (in black) can stick to small white balls called hydrogen and other balls called oxygen. We call those organic molecules, and they make up plants, food, and medicines. I think this is simple enough for a 1–3-year-old to understand, but not a baby. In my opinion, a better name for this series would have been “for Big Boys or Girls” rather than babies, because young children don’t like being called babies.

We are big science lovers in our household, so this book made learning fun! My kids love reading it and it makes the topics interesting for them. I love this series of books and hope to collect them all.

I bought this for my grandson because I work in chemistry and he actually loves listening to this book. It is so cute and he loves it.

They love it!

Bought this for a friend’s baby shower. It was a hit with the medical field ladies + gentlemen.

I am very much aware that these books are geared towards young children hence the cardboard pages and the information is good but feel that they could have done a better job with some of the pictures in terms of description and especially when it came to transferring to the more realistic hydrogen molecule set up. It seems to go from bulls and atoms to almost functional chemistry without giving the parents a good enough range of understanding to explain the change in pictures! It also feels like quality in detail of the pictures could be better given the price, I understand that you don't want ultra realistic pictures in kids books but there would be no harm in showing real every day objects. I would suggest that these books are geared for 3-year-olds and up rather than the babies as suggested on the cover due to their nature.

My baby focuses on the pages when I read it to her. Good book.
