But these STEM books for tiny scientists are fun, and it’s never too early for that!

Here are some of our favorites for the 0-3 year old lot ~

Planting a Rainbow, Lois Ehlert

The story of a flower garden; from planting bulbs in the autumn to the full riot of summer flowers, this book gives a look below the dirt and identifies species as well as highlights the full spectrum of colors in a cascade reminiscent of The Very Hungry Caterpillar.

The Robot Book, Heather Brown

This book isn’t big on explanation, but it comes with gears that spin and toggles that move. *There’s also an edition that features artwork only, so be careful which you choose.

TouchThinkLearn: Numbers, Xavier Deneux 

This low word count but heavily tactile book lets kids touch the items being counted, 1-10. Unlike most numbers primers, this one tries to get across the concept of the number, not just encourage rote memorization. Parental sound effects recommended 😉
