Janice VanCleave's Teaching the Fun of Science to Young Learners: Grades Pre-K through 2 1st Edition

I bought two books and sent one to each family. One of my daughter in-laws runs a small day care in her home and I thought it might help to keep little ones busy besides her own two pre-school boys. She said the 36 month olds were a bit young however got something out of it and thought it would be good this spring outside. My other daughter in-law said although her two boys were young, she thought the book had great ideas and was going to keep it around and use as needed. I have two older grandchildren (12 &10) whom I use to answer questions when they were small that my answers surprisingly stuck I was told by them in later years. Books like this are great resources. This one gives pictures and is easy to understand. My second daughter in-law and I had a laugh, although she is English and a real gap in age, we both remember one of the activities from our childhood.

I got this book from the public library to check out before buying. I'm glad I didn't buy it. The book says pre-k to 2 grade, my 3 yr old is in pre-k and wouldn't understand most of the stuff in the book. Unless your Prekindergartener is a genius don't expect this book to be of much benefit. I'm not sure how developed children get thru 1st and 2nd grade, so i can't comment on those ages, but it's defi geared for an older than Pre-K audience. I'd probably get this book as he got older though, just not now.
