As Chris Ferrie showed us in General Relativity for Babies, he believes it's never too early to introduce scientific concepts to children. Goodnight, Lab follows the pattern of the age-old classic picutre book Goodnight, Moon, naming items around a scientific laboratory.
The budding scientist will be introduced to--and can say goodnight to--new friends like Albert Einstein and a "grumpy old professor shouting 'publish.'" Other new "friends" include the ammeter, the voltmeter, the thermometer, the spectrometer, the liquid nitrogen, the compressed air, and the laser.
This isn't a great book with great art. But it's cute. Scientists will love it, and will love to read it to their kids.
