    Grab a play mat, blocks, and your favorite baby engineer. It’s time to build something—and see science at work!

    Oh, my. You’ve gathered lots of materials.
    What will you build?

    With blocks at the ready, watch as your baby uses their hands to bear weight and the couch for support while experimenting with setting up a sturdy base, stacking a tower, spanning a space with an arch—and applying force, of course. Bash! Smash! Crash! Babies and toddlers are naturally curious explorers—now help them discover that science is fun! In this bright, graphic board book, photos of busy little ones offset a lively running dialogue sprinkled with factual asides that define basic engineering terms.
    Jill Esbaum is a writer of both fiction and nonfiction. Her books includes titles in Scholastic’s Nature Numbers series as well as in the Little Kids First Big Book, Explore My World, and other series with National Geographic. She is also the author of Jack Knight’s Brave Flight.
