by Ruth Spiro (Author), Teresa Martinez (Illustrator)
The best-selling author of the Baby Loves Science series levels up with this playful STEM picture book introducing kids-and grown-ups-to the robotics world.
Do you want to know a secret? Sometimes grown-ups need YOU to explain things to THEM. Like robotics! In this tongue-in-cheek guide, an in-the-know narrator instructs kid readers in the fine art of explaining robotics to a grown-up. Both children and their adults learn:- what makes a robot a robot,
- who designs and builds robots,
- and how robots work on their own to get a job done.
Fun and fact-filled, the How to Explain Science series will empower kid experts to explore complex scientific concepts with any grown-up who will listen.
