This was an informative book for young children. It helps to teach them the science behind everyday items and will hopefully help them learn. This looks like a good series for all kids to have. |

This was a really cute read about electricity and Christmas. The illustrations were adorable, especially the dog, but the physics talk didn’t flow with the story of Christmas. It was still a cute read that would be sure to captivate young readers during the holidays. |

I received an ARC copy of Baby Loves Electrical Engineering at Christmas courtesy of #Netgalley, Ruth Spiro and Charlespridge Publishers in exchange for an honest review. I read this non-fiction children's book with my son. The language was easy enough for him to read himseld and provided new information to challenge him. I like that it introduced a lot of factual concepts around electricity in a way that a child could understand. I felt the book was a book of two parts. There is talk about electrical supply then talk about Christmas but not really together as the title would suggest, therefore only 4/5 stars. |

As an electrical engineer had to love this book. Circuits to infants. Great, wiring them for great stuff. It must have been a baby who said "Let there be light"... special baby... |

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review. While this was an awesome storybook with bright pictures, I felt it tried to pack in too many ideas. Ideas on how electricity works, what is Christmas, how it's celebrated and how to stay safe from electricity. This may be too much for a toddler to retain. Other than that i enjoyed it! |

I received an advance copy of, Baby Loves Electrical Engineering on Christmas, by Ruth Spiro. This is a really cute book, I loved the illustrations. Its a good early book on electrical and the world around us. |

Thanks to the Publisher and Netgalley for giving me the opportunity to read and review this book. I am a big fan of these series of board books. Such a great idea and children are never to young to start understanding what electricity is. This book opens a discussion between reader and child, in this case, electrical engineering at Christmas. It considers the child by creating a story surrounding where electricity comes from and how it gets to Baby’s home where she can then put up her twinkling Christmas lights on the tree. Bright bold and cheerful illustrations by Irene Chan help to keep the child happy and engaged and it is a joy to read out loud. |

Baby Loves Science is such a great series! I love that it incorporates science into a Christmas book, which makes it very unique. Safety, Christmas traditions, and the fact that not everyone celebrates Christmas were also discussed. While the book has "baby" in the title, this book would work even for elementary school aged children - if they aren't turned off by the word "baby." The illustrations were modern, colorful, and feature a diverse main character. Science concepts such as atoms and different forms of electricity were explained using simple text and drawings. |

This Baby Loves book is really adorable and teaches kids about electricity! All through showing them how Christmas lights work (once an adult plugs them in, of course!) It's never too early to teach kids about engineering and get them interested in science and I thought this book was really well done in teaching about how things work and how to be safe with them as well. I received a free e-copy of this book to review from NetGalley. I was not otherwise compensated. |

Love this series. Tying Christmas lights in with learning about electricity was a clever pairing. Probably could have pared the title down to Electricity instead of Electrical Engineering and smoothed the transition back to Christmas from the science. Otherwise, thought this was very well-written and had fun illustrations. 4.5 |

Thanks to Netgalley and Charlesbridge for this ARC in exchange for my honest review. Baby Loves Electrical Engineering on Christmas! is a children's book that explains the science behind Christmas lights. This is a fun and educational book for curious children trying to figure out how things work. I loved the illustrations and found the topic of Christmas lights to be a great choice to spark interest. The engineering facts are pretty detailed and may be over the heads of younger readers, but it is a great book to grow with and keep on the bookshelves for awhile. |

This is a cute book with some more advanced topics. My brother in law is studying to become an Electrical Engineer so I plan to buy this book for his son! The kindle version from Netgalley was completely out of order and difficult to read but I can use context clues to assume what the order of the book is suppose to be. Made it hard to give specific feedback about the book though. |

This is the best book for a classroom read aloud. I would recommend this for a classroom that is learning about electricity. It's also about Christmas, but goes very much into all of the elements pertaining to electricity. I would very much recommend this book. |

This book is awesome! Anytime I can combine science lessons into everyday tasks, I’m a happy person. This book does just that for little kids! I love the illustrations. They are simple, easy to follow, and really add to the content of the book. I also love that this book included different kinds of electricity- geothermal, wind, hydroelectric, solar, etc. I wasn’t expecting the author to also include ways to stay safe for electricity, but I’m glad she did. It’s an important part of keeping kids safe! For those of you wondering, this book isn’t overly religious either. That crossed my mind because it’s about Christmas, but it focuses on electricity as it related to turning on a Christmas tree, which is such a fun thing for young kids! |

Electrical Engineering explained simply to a baby. Maybe a toddler, curious as they can be, wants to know how the light come. And this book explained it, with much interesting illustration to show how electric works, somehow. Using Christmas as am example where Baby can see a lot of lights, the author explained where do these energies come from. |

This is the first Baby Loves book that I have read and I am very impressed by it. I read it to my 4 year old son and he loved it. He asked many questions and we have gone onto research electricity even more. I think this book is the perfect stepping stone for young children to see if the subject excites them without going into too much complicated detail that you can find in other books. Thank you to NetGalley and Charlesbridge for my ARC. |
