[Aaron might be a little young for this one-he hasn't seen it yet-but it describes everything about how our body is built and how it functions on a kid's level. Beautiful pictures. Very interesting]
[Awesome book about animals. Colorful, big pictures, has lots to offer for an exploring mind]
[Excellent source for a parent who didn't grow up in the US culture-that is me. It offers lots of rhymes, songs and folk tales that American parents should know. I find the songs on youtube and Aaron and I sing along. Besides, it talks about a preschooler's development and provides some guidence to the parents. I thought it was meant mainly for parents, but Aaron likes to sit down with me and look through the pictures that accompany the rhymes, songs and tales. The book is broken into several sections, including art, science, history...And though I am not the biggest art connaisseur, I enjoy going through it with Aaron. It's amazing how many details he can spot in a painting that I don't pay attention to. Also, it's a great way to develop a child's language skills offering him an opportunity to talk about a painting.]
I would caution parents, though, that DK First Reference books (like the first and second ones) support the evolution theory. You don't find it much in the books but every now and then there is a line about how humans came from monkeys:) We're not sharing that with Aaron right now, and when he gets older we'll use it as an opportunity to tell him that it's deception.
