Meet Einstein Hardcover – March 1, 2011

We bought this book for our 5 year-old daughter. Daddy is an engineer and I'm a lawyer. We're pushing her toward science and engineering. We're working with her on science experiments at home and getting her excited about the STEM areas of education. This book is very good at explaining the basic concepts of what Einstein was known for -- gravity, light etc. She enjoyed it. It's never gonna be as exciting as Pinkalicious stuff or princesses, but it's pretty good nonetheless. :)

Happy with this book.

I bought this book because I love Einstein and I wanted to teach my daughter about him. I believe Einstein is a great role model for children to learn from. Though the book does not actually talk about who Einstein is, it does talk about two discoveries he had made, that is about light and gravity. The information is presented very simply so it is easy to grasp.I read this to my child when she was just 1 and now almost 3. She always asks me to read this book and says "Einstein! Einstein!". The inside cover has a lot of science items to build vocabulary so my daughter and I always go over these (sometimes I think she enjoys this more than the book contents!) The artwork is very nice too. Einstein is portrayed in cool ways (one page is of him chilling on the beach).I gave it 5 stars even though I think it really should be a 4 only because this book attracts my child to ask me to read it over and over to her when she can chose many many other books from our personal library.

This book has little to do with einstein. It mentions him, but doesn't really explore his life or process as a scientist at all. I am also a little disturbed that the "facts" at the back of the book are all sourced from his wikipedia page from 2009. For someone publishing an actual book, please take the time and effort to do real research.

I am so glad I purchased this book. What a great introduction to Scientific study and tools. I teach preschoolers and they look at their tools in a whole new way. They consider themselves Scientist.

I read this to all my Kindergarten and first grade students. They really loved the pictures. It lead into a great conversation afterward about "what is a scientist?" but I'm not sure they would pick this book up for the story itself.

Bought this for my 5 year old grand daughter. It is an understandable introduction to a very deep subject. She found it inspiring. Wants to be a scientist (along with being a princess) when she grows up.

This book was epic because we learned about light. This was awesome!! Thanks for writing this great kids book on Einstein.
