Kit's Big Curiosity

The first board book in a 20-book series built from a working patent attorney's classroom and patent practice.

This is Kit. Kit has curious eyes. Kit notices things most grown-ups stopped noticing a long time ago. The cracks in the sidewalk where the ants live. The way light bends through a glass of water. The sound a leaf makes when it lands. To Kit, the whole world is one big interesting thing, and every walk is a chance to ask, "What is THAT?"

Across 20 board books, Kit's Little Sparks builds the emotional and behavioral foundations of the inventor's mindset, the same mindset Chris Kuczynski has helped real inventors apply throughout his patent practice. Book 1 starts at the beginning: noticing. Before a child can solve a problem, build a thing, or share an idea, they have to notice the world is interesting.

Every spread is illustrated in soft watercolor. Every page is rated durable for toddler hands. Every book ships with a free read-along audio, an educator guide, and a printable activity sheet.

For parents who want their child to ask better questions. For preschool teachers who want a story that maps cleanly to NGSS Science and Engineering Practices. For families raising a small inventor.

Written by Chris Kuczynski, an engineer for the first twelve years of his career, then a registered patent attorney, and a co-founder of a preschool. He wrote the Kit's Little Sparks series to give two to four year-olds the language of invention long before kindergarten.

Try a Look and Ooh walk with your child after reading this book. Go slowly. Let your child lead. Say Oooh at whatever catches his or her eye. Kit's Big Curiosity is the warm-up. The next 19 books in Kit's Little Sparks will show you, and your child, where curiosity takes them next.
