Albert

by Lani Yamamoto

School time, dinner time, play time, bedtime - Albert's world is moving too fast. Sometimes he wishes things would just stop. Then the night comes, his parents go to bed and the world really does seem to come to a standstill. Albert watches the sky full of stars that have been there forever, but then one of them disappears! As the night slowly turns into morning, Albert muses, 'Maybe the world never really stands still. Maybe everything is always changing...' This is the second book in this exciting series which introduces philosophy to five-year-olds. Albert2 discusses the concept of flux in a way to which children everywhere can respond!

[Abby Gallier · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not only is this a good example of a science fiction book for children, it is relatable for younger children. This book illustrates how a young Albert Einstein may have acted when his parents tell him to come eat dinner, take a bath, or go to bed. It shows things that he may have done, and how he may have looked at world. This is a pretty easy read, suitable for ages 6-9, and interesting to show children what someone like Albert Einstein would have been like when he was their age.
