Editorial Reviews

How lucky are parents and early childhood educators that master teacher Deborah Roffman has written this inclusive, revolutionary board book for our youngest children. Using basic concepts like same/different and inside/outside to teach about people, relationships, eggs, sperm, genitals and birth, she's provided—finally!—the thorough, friendly guide we and children need.

Jennifer Bryan

Written by a leading expert in young children's development, The Science of Babies is a treasure. Every single word and illustration is carefully thought-out in concert with the guidance Deborah Roffman's parenting books provide about what children want to know, what they need to know, and when they should know it.”
