"Jason Lindsey is a certified STEM educator who truly understands the littlest learners. Big Science Experiments for Little Kids is the perfect book for curious kids and parents. With simple illustrations, clear directions, and simple explanations this book is the perfect way to get littles hooked on science!" --Randa Gary, early childhood educator, preschool librarian, hands-on advocate

"Science is all around us and powers everything we do, but sadly, it seems many adults fail to make the connection between science and the innovations that improve our lives. The earlier we can help children understand this concept and get them interested in science, the better it will be! Big Science Experiments for Little Kids provides lots of fun experiments that parents and preschoolers can do together, while also connecting that fun back to the science that makes it possible, using short and simple explanations. I love that it even includes the Scientific Method! What a great foundational resource for starting your kids on a lifelong journey of learning about how the world works and thinking about ways they can make it better." --Kate Hayes, Head of Advocacy Communications and creator of "Science at Home," Bayer
