- Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2024Bought this for a friend’s baby shower. It was a hit with the medical field ladies + gentlemen.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 29, 2022You don’t buy this to teach your infant/toddler organic chemistry. You buy it so that they can have these concepts introduced early. The pictures are sharp and bright and the book is just as easy for them to look at and chew on as a book about trucks or farm animals. Start this conversation early so scientific concepts are part of your child’s environment from day one and they’re comfortable with it.
- Reviewed in the United States on October 17, 2023My nephew is so smart after reading this. Such a big brain with so many wrinkles. Doesn't matter that he can't walk yet. He knows organic chemistry and that's all that matters

Images in this review - Reviewed in the United States on January 14, 2022It's a fun gift to help introduce the ideas of organic chemistry. Perhaps more of a gift for the adults in a baby's life, but I'll let you know what the baby thinks as soon as they're able to speak and read.
Some of the molecule names and concepts are a little advanced for someone who is learning to read (or any adult who hasn't taken a chemistry class). Also the book presumes the reader knows what an atom is, which seems a little unlikely given the target audience.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 3, 2024My baby focuses on the pages when I read it to her. Good book.
- Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2023I am very much aware that these books are geared towards young children hence the cardboard pages and the information is good but feel that they could have done a better job with some of the pictures in terms of description and especially when it came to transferring to the more realistic hydrogen molecule set up. It seems to go from bulls and atoms to almost functional chemistry without giving the parents a good enough range of understanding to explain the change in pictures! It also feels like quality in detail of the pictures could be better given the price, I understand that you don't want ultra realistic pictures in kids books but there would be no harm in showing real every day objects. I would suggest that these books are geared for 3-year-olds and up rather than the babies as suggested on the cover due to their nature.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2023I think I’ve purchased this 6 times now. I’m a chemist, so I include this in all my baby shower gifts. Just ordered it again. Super cute.

LucaReviewed in Italy on January 28, 2024
5.0 out of 5 stars Libro semplice ma ben fatto
Il libro si compone di una ventina di pagine circa, di cartoncino spesso, come i tipici libri per bambini, vengono mostrate le molecole sottoforma di "palline colorate", il che risulta sufficientemente semplice ed accattivante nei confronti di un bambino anche di piccola età.
L'aspetto grafico è ben curato con colori brillanti e disegni semplici, in modo che oltre all'aspetto più teorico scritto, sia presente anche una modellizzazione grafica.
Unico aspetto da tenere in considerazione è che è interamente in lingua inglese, molto semplice peraltro, ma sicuramente da evitare per quanti non la conoscano.

5.0 out of 5 stars Me encantan estos libros!
Me regalaron otros libros de esta misma colección para mi hija y compramos este para completarla. Excelente calidad, aunque si son para niños un poco mayores.
