A first board-book look at the plant world

Part of the Baby Scientist series, Baby Botanist introduces plant study through a young scientist’s observations of plants in different sizes and places. The questions move from where plants can grow—including on water—to the foods that come from them, grounding early science vocabulary in familiar discoveries. Simple language, recognizable settings, and vibrant illustrations shape the book’s approach, while the lab-coat-wearing botanist gives the subject a playful scientific frame. Its compact board-book format makes plant concepts the center of a brief, exploratory read-aloud.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Babies and toddlers beginning to notice plants and foods
  • Families seeking an early introduction to science concepts
  • Fans of the Baby Scientist board-book series
