Reading 'I can be a curious scientist' to my toddler:
"Sure, Marie Curie got a Nobel Prize, but at least Mommy got us some ice cream." #ScienceSky
The picture shows a page of the "I can be a curious scientist" children's book. On the top of the page, it reads"Can you make discoveries like Marie? Follow the right path to find the Nobel Prize!". Below is a picture of Marie Curie and a "find-the-right-path" riddle, where the right path leads to the Nobel Prize, two others lead to beakers, and one leads to something that looks like three ice cream scoops.
