Baby University Board Book Set: A Science for Toddlers (Gifts for Kids) (Baby University Board Book Sets) Board book – November 28, 2017

I was not sure if my baby was going to like these, given that some reviews mentioned that adults may be getting ahead of themselves here. Absolutely false - the books were designed for the learner’s brain. I saw that someone criticized the simplicity of the illustrations. When learning new concepts it’s actually imperative for the page to be simple, direct and concise. Otherwise, it would feel like a PPT slide with too many words and images. These books are perfect. They start with simple objects, followed by a few sentences on each page. Baby could not stop scanning and absorbing everything, especially the graphs. I thought I would read one book and take a break but we ended up reading three of them in one sit and I feel like baby wanted me to keep going. Afterward, my husband had a conversation with our infant about electrons and babe was so engaged. Could not recommend these enough!

Love educational books, even if they don't understand everything exactly...they'll grow up with these books on their shelves and maybe seeing the information simplified throughout their childhoods will make it a little easier to understand or digest when they're old enough to learn what it's really all about. They're a good quality cardboard book set. Wish they came in a little case/sleeve, but they came shrink wrapped which was nice.

Totally geeked out over these books. Bought a set as a baby shower gift for a great niece and another set for my own grandkids. Very simple sentences, shapes, and contrasting colors.

These are great. Like all grand kids mine are above average and now these books have extended their superiority. If nothing else, my non-stem children can appreciate some of the basic concepts their mother and I have worked with for years. These are fun!

Our little ones (5, 2, Newborn) love reading. My husband and I are both from STEM backgrounds. We agreed that it would be amazing to start the love of STEM as early as possible... Maybe get a physicist on our hands! When we read one of the books, our keiki instantly wanted us to read more! It's a new bedtime necessity. The size of the board books are easy to hold and great for little hands to help flip. The little bites of words make it easy to capture their attention and maintain it throughout the story. Can't wait to expand our collection!

Although it's super cute to have these books for your newborns, the issue I have is the basic pictures could be more interesting (a whole page dedicated to a singular color ball is a bit sad to keep attention) & I fully understand that these are aimed for young children but feel that the mental leap between seeing a ball on a page and then having an arrow pointing down to explain Newtonian physics could be done better! Pictures of simple enough for a very young child but the concepts could be shown in better ways and more colorful design given the price. The books themselves are study enough to probably withstand a good few years of wear and tear which is great but just the basic drawings in them feel a bit lackluster and could be improved by either using real-world pictures of balls or something more than singular block color, due to the fact that you are trying to explain abstract principles of physics to children that may not be fully aware of their own appearance! We got them for a 2-year-old but would probably suggest to start to introduce them slightly later on to give them a better chance of understanding some of the explanations behind longer words and abstract concepts.

saw these book on The Five on Fox News. They were a gift to Greg Gutfeld for his new baby. I bought these to give as a baby shower gift. These books will give the baby a head start in the world of science.

This series has become a morning routine staple. Not sure how much my 20-month old has learned, but I've learned a lot.
