Beam Me Up Baby

For most parents (and grandparents), the name Spock is best known as a respectable pediatrician who's a trusted resource on everything from pacifiers to potty-training. In our home, Spock is only synonymous with one thing, and that's Star Trek. If ever I thought never the twain shall meet, I was pleasantly mistaken. For Trekkies new and old comes a brand new picture book that goes where no baby has gone before. . I let my husband, a self-proclaimed fan of the show (who doesn't consider himself a Trekkie, mind you), take a peek at Star Trek Book of Opposites. After thumbing through the pages after a long day at the office, he smiled knowingly at the pairing of opposite photos taken straight from the classic TV show, such as a "calm" Spock vs. a "surprised" McCoy. A chuckle after a 2-hour commute home? Imagine what this book will do for a tantrum-throwing toddler. Whether it's the means to calming down a cranky child, a walk down memory lane or a way to introduce your own child to the wonders of your version of TV Land before the days of the DVR, this kitschy book is an amusing romp out in space that gets you back home before bedtime.
In a Nutshell: Live long and prosper. Star Trek gains a new life in a fun format for kids of all ages.
