My son loves all things science, and this book "What's In Your Car" is right up his alley. It's a great way to introduce him to the periodic table. He especially likes the cool facts!
Anna HurtadoAmazon Customer Review
We bought "What's In Your Car" book knowing our four year old son loves to memorize nursery rhymes. When you incorporate the STEM aspect, and the fact that he's learning something valuable it makes this book an excellent choice for any age. I can easily see him reading this by himself down the road.
