Video games and YouTube have proven a boon for those unexpected sick days or quarantines, but finding quality entertainment hasn’t always been easy.

A few months into the pandemic, our family discovered Emily’s Wonder Lab, a science-focused Netflix series starring Emily Calandrelli, an MIT graduate that worked for NASA. For my (at the time) 3-year-old son, Emily’s Wonder Lab was both an exciting show to watch but also an informative piece of programming that taught him a lot of cool scientific concepts.

Unfortunately, while Emily’s Wonder Lab Season 1 is still available on Netflix, there are no plans for a second season as of this writing. But for Calandrelli and her fans, the journey of Emily’s Wonder Lab continues in book form.

With Stay Curious and Keep Exploring, Calandrelli is capturing the same spirit of Emily’s Wonder Lab with both fun experiments for families to do and key science facts to ensure kids are still learning. Calandrelli isn’t deviating from the formula that worked for Wonder Lab either; she isn’t talking down to the kids when explaining the science behind each experiment.
