"Data Science for Babies is an excellent tool for parents and educators who want to introduce their children to the world of data science. It is never too early to start learning about these concepts, and this book does an excellent job of making it accessible to young children. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to inspire their children to learn more about data science and statistics. It is a five-star book that should be on every child's bookshelf. "
"I got this book for my nephew, but I must admit that reading it to him helped me better understand data science. I actually write data queries and analyze data as part of my job. Yet, I never understood my work's general and broad concept until I read this fun story about data science. "
"What a funny way to introduce kids to data science! My kids laughed and laughed when we read this. I love that I have a fun way to explain what their dad does at work."
"It is a fantastic addition to any child's library, and I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to introduce their little ones to the fascinating world of data science. It is a well-written, beautifully illustrated book that is sure to spark curiosity and inspire future learning. "
"This book was bright and colorful, full of engaging illustrations, simple text and the most rudimentary beginnings to explaining data science for kids. This is a great way to introduce a very complicated subject to babies. This was fun and a book that kids will love to read over and over. It also can make a great dual purpose book to start talking about numbers and practice counting too! Would be great for science classes to start talking about data even with older kids because the explanation is so straightforward and easy to understand. It really illustrates the topic in an easy to comprehend way."

A cute way to learn
This was the cutest book I read. It has simplified the fundamentals of data science beautifully. It is engaging and prompts thinking for young minds. Learning while having fun is the best way, right?
This book can be a good way to know your child's analytical inclination.

This book is catchy and the illustrations are nice. Who can not like a book about cookies. I think this is a good book for a toddler to learn counting 1-5, following a trail, and grouping. Great first science book for kiddos.

Short and fun
If you want to introduce your baby to the fascinating world of data science, you might want to check out Data Science for Babies by Tim Cogan, a colorful and engaging book that teaches basic concepts of data science to young children.
Data Science for Babies is part of the Cookie Books for Babies series, which aims to spark curiosity and inspire learning in babies and toddlers. The book covers topics such as sorting, patterns, prediction, regression, classification, and visualization, using simple words and illustrations.
The book is a nice read, fun, and informative. It explains the concepts in a clear and easy way, using examples that babies can relate to, such as cookies, animals, and shapes. The book also includes some questions and activities that parents can do with their babies to reinforce the learning.
However, the book is not unique, as I have seen other methods to teach data science to babies, such as the Baby Loves Science series by Ruth Spiro. The book is also very short, and I would have loved to have more exercises and challenges for the babies. Moreover, the book could use some more drawings and a better illustrator, because babies understand better through images they like and relate to.
Overall, I would give this book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. I liked the book’s content and approach, but I was not fully satisfied with the book’s length and presentation. I would recommend this book to parents who want to expose their babies to data science, but I would also suggest looking for other resources to complement the book. The book is a good book, but it could be better.

Full disclosure. I used to be an elementary school principal and for years had the wonderful opportunity to observe teachers in the classroom teaching concepts to young learners. I became fascinated with the idea of the best way to present concepts to kids—that rare mixture of teaching a concept through examples, holding their attention, keeping them engaged through an active participation.
I loved this book. Although the concepts presented here are sophisticated, the author manages to present them on a basic level. He uses cookies—something that most kids are interested in—and visually illustrates a number of data concepts with the help of a rabbit and a snake.
He includes what he calls A Comment from Tim where he correctly labels the concept for the adult in the room. Genius.
Cute illustrations!
I recommend this book for any parent who has a kid. 5 stars.

It won my kid over
When my son said he know where the rabbit went I couldn’t not give it five stars. Although I didn’t screen this book first and just started reading it to him so I was a little shocked to find out where the rabbit went. Also when the cookies started to be categorized I was think it might be over his head but it was funny having him explain it to me. My sons not a baby but 3 yet he enjoyed this one so 5 stars. If you have little kids I’d recommend this story it’s a nice like book for a quick read.

Brilliant!
I loved this. The title is just something to work with. It is fine for three year olds. Maybe, a 6 month can follow the pictures, and intuitively pick something up, but proclaiming Data Science knowledge at the end may be a bit over the baby’s head.
Still, I loved it!

Confusing at first
This was an okay read but until the author explained his reasoning at the end of the book I didn’t follow the logic of the story. And the poor bunny! I’m pretty sure my granddaughter would figure out what happened to it by the shape of the snake and she’d be traumatized. Maybe the author was going for parental humor but I didn’t find it funny either.

Very interesting.
This view on data science was interesting. I love the use of cookies to show diversity and grouping as cookies is relatable for children of all ages even for some adults. The funny moments with the snake and rabbit were amazing. I wish I could watch a video of this playing out.

Cool Concept
I really like the idea of teaching kids something from stories. My only reason for not giving this five stars is because I’m not sure how to explain data science to a child. I’d recommend a page or two at the beginning explaining the benefits of the subject. After that the story is fun and playful.

Interesting approach to “data science” for kids
Not sure I really followed what the author was trying to accomplish with the cookie trail at the beginning, especially the curvy versus straight part. I think the rabbit and snake were more for fun. The grouping of cookies made more sense.

simple and nice book
The book explains some of the traditional data science concepts for children like regression, clustering, and time series. The idea is great but the author could do much better job with this idea for example adding a robot to explain machine learning methods and so on. The story is simple but I think it is not that attractive to children.

Cute, engaging book
This book was perfect for young children learning to count. It is also informational and fun. Since the book has bright covers it is good to help kids pay attention. I enjoyed reading this book and thought it would be good for anyone with babies and young children.

Good Book
While the book is primarily aimed at young children, it can also be enjoyed by parents and caregivers who are interested in introducing their little ones to the world of data science. It serves as a starting point for conversations and activities that can further explore the concepts introduced in the book.

Important concepts within.
It would be easy to dismiss this book for its simplicity. But as a computer scientist, I can attest that the ideas presented here are very fundamental to data science and computer science generally. They are presented in such a fun way, and with a twist ending. We'll done.

the title is not a lie!
If I had this book back in my college days, maybe I wouldn’t have so many problems in statistics class. Very cute illustrations help prove the point in this title.

Oh wow!
That was concise and informative for adults with little ones. I have big kids so I definitely wasn’t the right demographic. Wish I had this book years ago. Silly. Cute. Simple.

Not what I expected
I understand what the writer was trying to do, but I didn't get the point until I read the author's explanation. He should put the explanation at the beginning of the book, not at the end.

Simple and Fun
I enjoy it. For me it is so useful to introduce numbers, sequences and simple analyses. I really liked. Designed with simplicity and entertainment for little ones to learn the babies steps of logical reasoning in data science.

Data Science for Dummies
I was riveted by the trail of cookies and nearly forgot what the point of this book was all about. What's up with that rabbit and snake. Fascinating way to explain how data is grouped and categorized. I loved it.

love it!
OK, I just love the fact that this book even exists. I had no idea what to expect and as soon as I opened it I was smiling and loving it. What a great concept to break down into a children’s book. Couldn’t have been better.

Holy Cuteness Cookie Monster!
This story is so full of simple math concepts that are easily translated into something a very young child can understand.
As an adult, I literally cracked up when he asked where the rabbit was. Haha!! Still laughing! A little dark… but funny.

unconvinced at first
Reading through the book I didn’t understand how it was all educational. Then I read the author’s note at the end and it made far more sense to me.
I think young children will enjoy having this read to them.

Simple explanation of concepts
Good visuals for explanation of data science to kids. Although it would have been good for author to include the actual data science concept names along with the visuals. Seems like a missed opportunity.

Sheldon Cooper would be proud.
Data Science for Babies is just what it claims to be, a quick primer on data science written for young children. It goes over basic concepts like trend fitment and grouping using cookies and a snake.
