With bright artwork and an engaging design, Nerdy Babies is a series that the very littlest nerds will want to return to again and again.

About the author

I've drawn many pictures of dogs and monsters in my life, many of which you could find on the edges of math homework and science tests. I've always been a storyteller, learning the art of exaggeration early on.

My husband and I live in Kalamazoo, Michigan with our three young kids. I’m forever looking to be surrounded by books, food and laughter (in any order). I spend my days in my studio that lives above our coffee shop, Factory Coffee.

As a former classroom teacher, I taught high school English Language Arts, Biology, and Integrated Science. I'm cofounder of Read and Write Kalamazoo (RAWK) — a literacy-focused nonprofit modeled after 826 National. RAWK is devoted to celebrating and amplifying youth voices through the cultivation of reading and writing skills, via joy, creativity, equity and access.

I loved the pictures, especially the birds. Momma read this with me.

[Krista · Rating 4 out of 5]

A lot of fun, educational facts about the rain forest tucked into a little board book.
This was another book that children ranging from 1-5 years loved to hear over and over.
I need to return it to the library but I might consider checking out some others in the set.

A little intense for a board book

I personally didn't know Skandinavia has temperate rainforest (and it is not taiga)

This is a great introduction for little ones to rainforests. Wonderfully presented with very interesting and educational descriptions and vivid illustrations in this board book.
