Einstein's Dreams
Alan Lightman
Vintage, 2004
time
I absolutely loved this book. I had to read it for my philosophy class. It is a book that truly gets your mind working. I definetly sat and contemplated time for a while. If you love a read that will get your mind working this is it...if you don't trust me...it is ...

Touch and Feel: Touch and Feel Neighborhood Animals (Baby Einstein)
Julie Aigner-clark
Disney Press, 2008
My Two Daughters Love This Book
This is a wonderful first book for babies. My oldest daughter loved her first copy so much that it fell apart because of so much use. I ordered two more copies (one for her -she is now 28 months old) and one for her younger sister (14 months old).

Baby Einstein: See and Spy Shapes (Baby Einstein)
Julie Aigner-clark
Hyperion Book CH, 2001
A must have!
This book is colorful, simplistic and really does teach little ones about shapes. This was one of my son's favorite books. I'd recommend it along with the one about counting. If you read these to your child starting at age one, they will most likely learn them by age ...

Disney's Little Einsteins: Christmas Wish (Little Einsteins)
Marcy Kelman
Disney Press, 2007
No "huh?" involved---lots of merry fun!
Another reviewer wrote "huh?" about the book's ending, but it makes perfect sense: The reason Annie's wish box was empty was because HER WISH ALREADY CAME TRUE! Her wish was to spend Christmas with her best friends--it's that simple (even my preschooler got it!).

Baby Einstein: Dogs (Baby Einstein)
Julie Aigner-clark
Hyperion Book CH, 2002
Toddlers LOVE Puppies!!
As a mom of two young children, a book lover and a strong believer in the value of education from day-one, I never would have expected that teeny board books (we're talking graham cracker-sized) would be so popular! But my 17-month-old son will follow me around with ...

Baby Einstein: Cats (Baby Einstein)
Julie Aigner-clark
Hyperion Book CH, 2002
Babies love cats!
This is an adorable little board book with some fantastic feline art in it! Our first son grew up with a cat in the house and this book was one of his favorites. I remember him crawling after the cat with this book in one hand when he was about 9 months old, as if to ...

John W. Moffat
Collins, 2008

Baby Einstein: Babies (Baby Einstein)
Julie Aigner-clark
Hyperion Book CH, 2002
Great for newborns
This book, along with the "Cats", "Dogs" & "Birds" books are great to read to your newborn. The books are short (like a baby's attention span) and sweet. My son is now 13 months and he still enjoys these books as they are small enough for him to hold in his hands and ...

An enlightening look at Einstein's life from birth to death and everythinig inbetween. There was just enough discusion of physics to give you a background, but comprehendable to the non-physists of the world. The author covered the creation of the theory of relativity, ...

Uncertainty: Einstein, Heisenberg, Bohr, and the Struggle for the Soul of Science
David Lindley
Anchor, 2008
God Not Only Plays Dice, She Cheats!
Richard Feynman once remarked, perhaps apocryphally, that if anyone told you they `understood' quantum theory, that the one thing you could depend on is that they had missed something. That is why I find it interesting that many of the `so-so' or negative reviews of ...

Who Was Albert Einstein?
Jess Brallier
Grosset & Dunlap, 2002
Full of Information!
I thought Who Was Albert Einstein? was a great book. Hats off to Jess Brallier! I have read this book two or three times, which is rare for me, since I do not like to re-read things, so that must tell you how good this book is! I learned a lot of things like he was ...

Ideas and Opinions
Albert Einstein
Bonanza Books, 1988
Disagree at times, but simply genius!
"Ideas & Opinions" is one of those books that makes you kinda laugh to yourself at reading some of the passages and hit yourself and think, "well, that makes sense!" It's an interesting look at the issues and thought processes which shaped the way Albert Einstein ...

Always puts a smile on baby
I got this book as a gift when my baby was about a month old. I've read it to her at bathtime everyday since and it still makes her laugh. (She's 7 months old now.)
