What's This Book About

Publisher Summary

Big, brainy science for the littlest listeners Accurate enough to satisfy an expert, yet simple enough for baby, this book explores the basics of flight - from birds, to planes and rockets - and ties it all to baby’s world. Beautiful, visually stimulating illustrations complement age-appropriate language to encourage baby’s sense of wonder. Parents and caregivers may learn a thing or two, as well!

    I LOVE the concept of teaching kids more difficult concepts in a simplified form via board books when they're little, in the hopes that it may subconsciously spark general curiosity or a specific interest. I think this book does a decent job of building concepts, but it's a lot more interesting to me as an adult to see how they're explaining these simplified concepts than it is to my toddler. That being said, there's a rocket ship at the end, so that helps ;) I could see this being great for a slightly older child!

    I really love that this book is teaching children the simplified science of flight, but I think an older child might appreciate it more. I do think it still may be intriguing for young ones, as you'll be talking about birds, airplanes, and rockets! The illustrations are very cute!!
