The Baby University series is an extensive collection of board books that are both entertaining and informative. With the thick pages, these books are rip-proof and durable, perfect for little tykes. Like their tagline says, these present “simple explanations of complex ideas for your future genius.”
In some of the books, like ABCs of Mathematics and ABCs of Engineering, the pages go through the whole alphabet highlighting different aspects with that letter. A is for addition, for example, while B is for battery and C is for Carnot engine. Below each letter is also a short explanation that kiddos can return to as they grow older and have a better understanding.
Other books in the series, like Rocket Science for Babies or Quantum Physics for Babies, have a much simpler style, with colorful illustrations and just a few words per page. There are even more groups too, like Baby Medical School and Baby Biochemist. Little ones aren’t going to understand what an electron is or how a rocket works, but they’re hearing the words and seeing the pictures, and being introduced to STEM concepts at an early age.
The classic board books – say, Very Hungry Caterpillar or Brown Bear, Brown Bear – are classics for a reason, but if you’re looking for something different and new, either for your kiddo or as a gift, this series is a great place to start. These books are unique and fun, and there is such a large variety of topics. Plus, adults can learn some new things too while they read!
