High Chair Chemistry

High Chair Chemistry is a witty and wonderfully messy introduction to the basics of chemistry, cleverly disguised as a fun mealtime adventure. This engaging board book uses humorous commentary and lively photographs to introduce young children to the properties of matter-all from the high chair! From liquids to solids, reactions to mixtures, each mealtime mess becomes a chemistry experiment. Supported by fact-filled side notes and vivid images of babies interacting with food, the book makes scientific learning both accessible and entertaining for toddlers and their carers. With its mix of dry humour, real-life scenarios, and bright visuals, High Chair Chemistry shows that early exposure to science can start with a spoonful of curiosity (and maybe some yoghurt on the wall).
