Why We Recommend It
Baby’s Big World: Chemistry provides a perfect introduction to science for toddlers, and even preschoolers. It’s simple structure (no more than two sentences per page) is great for young children, and the subjects discussed are covered in a way that are relatable to items that kids experience everyday (i.e. comparing the periodic table to a box of crayons). Some of the other topics covered include chemicals, elements, atoms, molecules and compounds!

For teachers and parents wanting an easy starting point to talk science with a young audience, Baby’s Big World: Chemistry is a great option.
