School Library Journal Starred Review (Sat Jul 01 00:00:00 CDT 2023)

Toddler-PreS— Full-color photographs of babies in towels, getting wet, soaking, and soaping up all but distract from the fact that this is simple science. Words like "hypothesis" and "gravity" are set off in bright boxes and defined, but the duck falling into water will be the attention-grab. This book is ideal for answering all the whys that come up during bath time and after, about splashes and suds, and everything in between. With a cast of brown, Black, Asian, and white babies and their parents, the scenes are a delight to gaze at; not only does this equip parents for questions, but it answers their curiosity, too. VERDICT A science entry surprise that will likely survive classroom use, too.

Splish, splash! Prepare to experience the forces of physics at work. It’s time for Baby’s bath . . .

Ooh! We made a waterfall . . .
Invite your tubby-time friends to join in.

Even Einstein started somewhere, so who’s to say your little genius-to-be won’t find inspiration in the bath? Gather up your gear: floating toys, fluffy towels, warm tub, favorite little lab partner (may take multiple attempts). Place tiny tot in the tub (note water displacement), and proceed to explore buoyancy, gravity, and evaporation. Now it’s time to make waves and see that third law of motion in action. Go, baby, go! Wait, hold on . . . Stop, baby, stop! In a bright, graphic board book leavened with dry humor, photos of happy tykes and a tongue-in-cheek running dialogue are sprinkled with factual asides that define basic concepts of physics. So don your protective goggles—with a bathtub as a lab bench, your precocious little one can master physics every day!
