Meet Einstein presents the world’s most well-known scientist to kids, along with two of the concepts preschoolers are ready to learn about—light and gravity. The simple text and whimsical illustrations show kids that science is exciting, and that it’s around them wherever they go!
In addition to learning about Einstein, young readers will be introduced to the classic tools of the scientific profession: lab coats, microscopes, telescopes, Bunsen burners, and more! Included in the back of the book is a brief section on Einstein for parents, which will help them more fully explain Einstein’s life and breakthrough discoveries.
