Pedagogically, the book is brilliant. It teaches and counting using the language of chemistry. It normalizes scientific vocabulary so that when a child eventually takes high school chemistry, the word "covalent bond" doesn't sound like a foreign spell—it sounds like something they learned in their high chair.
The next day, exhausted and delirious, Eleanor stumbled into her lab. Her graduate student, Leo, found her staring at a whiteboard covered not in reaction mechanisms, but in crayon drawings of smiling benzene rings.
However, there is a dark side to the PDF hunt. Many websites hosting this file are pirate sites. Chris Ferrie is an independent author; his books are not produced by a massive conglomerate. Finding a torrent link for the PDF deprives a working physicist of a living.
Most "organic chemistry for babies" resources, such as the popular board books by Chris Ferrie, strip away the jargon and focus on the visual architecture of molecules. are represented as colorful balls. Bonds are represented as simple lines connecting them. Molecules are the "puzzles" these pieces create.
