Big, brainy science for the littlest listeners.
Ruth Spiro is the author of the How to Explain Science to a Grown-Up series, the Made by Maxine series, and the best-selling Baby Loves Science series, which has been praised by NPR, Today, Popular Science, the Los Angeles Times, and more. Ruth speaks regularly at STEM and early-childhood conferences across the country.
In this addition to the Baby Loves Science board book series, Spiro
uses a familiar reference to create a global warming analogy: "Baby
has a blanket...When Baby puts the planet on, she feels warm...The
earth has a blanket, too. Just like Baby! The earth's blanket is
air." Chan illustrates in cheerful images, including a smiling,
anthropomorphic Earth; the baby, who has blue-black hair and a
serene expression, shows concern as she learns that greenhouse
gases are making the Earth too hot under its blanket. A spread
shows vehicles and factories puffing out cloudy emissions, leading
to the question "How can people help?" Chan suggests green energy
options with images of wind turbines and solar panels, and lists
tips for how family members of all ages can help the Earth (turning
out lights, recycling). A timely primer for early ecologists.
