If you love the original Star Trek in all of it's William Shatner/Captain Kirk glory, then there is no question you will love this board book as well. Even if you are not a fan of the original (and beyond awesome) series, there is a decent possibility that you will get some amusement out of this.
Chances are the hubby will point out the fact that I just wasted my money. But did I? Did I really?
This sort of happiness, you just can't put a price on it.
Clearly this was money well spent! =)

How often does one come across a board book that appeals equally to toddlers, college students, the middle-aged and basically any other demographic that one could name? Two- and three-year-olds will have a great time with the variety of pictures in this book (even if there are a few images that may frighten them a little, such as "Mean"), and perhaps begin building an early recognition of the show for when they're old enough to try watching it, while fans of the original Star Trek television se...more
That's right people. This is a board book. A Star Trek board book! I'm sure those people at Quirk are trying to turn me into a Trekkie - you know what? The scary thing is I think it may be working. I now 'get' way more of the Big Bang Theory references than I ought to!

parents, Star Trek fans, children of all ages
A light, fun, and adorable book to teach your children the simple concepts of opposites: happy/angry, young/old, hot/cold. and others. Captain Kirk and the crew of the Enterprise as well as other characters from Star Trek come together to teach and entertain your child. This is a very nice, solid board book. The photography in it is very good. I will add that I don't think you have to be a child to enjoy this book. If you are Star Trek fan, you will likely enjoy the book, even if it is just for...more
This is amazing. I need my (few) Trekkie friends to have babies so I can give this to them. OMG. Amazing.
(I realize this book may be less amazing to people who didn't grow up watching the original series. TRIBBLES!!!!!)

Another "kids'" book for hipsters that, like Darth Vader and Son, probably provides adult readers more amusement than the kids. I challenge all preschool and early elementary teachers I know to give this a whirl in your classrooms to see how the kids respond. I predict their understanding of opposites will be reinforced better than with the creepy Sesame Street Book of Opposites featuring Zero Mostel in his pajamas. Whether it also expands their taste for sci-fi to embrace the classics is a matt...more
As far as kids books go, this really isn't very good. A lot of the pictures are a bit of a stretch and beyond the understanding of kids young enough to enjoy this book.
HOWEVER, this book is also hilarious for any Trek fan and worth reading anyway. It's just too funny seeing Star Trek pictures in a little kids' book. It would make a great gift for Star Trek fans who are new parents.
If you aren't a fan of Star Trek, don't bother.

This book is pretty darn funny. I saw it online and knew I had to buy it for a friend of ours who is a big Trekkie. Each picture is a still from the series, and some of the images they chose are hilarious. If you are a big Star Trek fan or know someone who is, buy this one. It's just a board book, so the joke doesn't last too long, but it's fun while it lasts.
I got this for my goddaughter because I realized that she is going to grow up in a world knowing a different Captain Kirk and this simply cannot be allowed. And I think the best part of this board book is the "Apart/Together" pictures, because it's the historic scene between Kirk and Uhura.
Now we need a Next Generation one... Babyface Riker/Bearded Riker.

This was a lot heftier than I thought it would be. Nice and big, not like those little board books that your kid could probably swallow. Great glossy pages of Star Trek stills. Bright colors and just all around fun. I'd love to see more like this. ABC's. Numbers. Colors. Also a great change from the standard images found in these kinds of children's books.
Toddlers in Space! A board book for the youngest crowd introducing them to some opposites by way of still photos (some of them iconic images) taken from the original Star Trek series. If you're a Trekkie - or just a Trekker - you'll find this book funny and cute; the name of the publishing company sums up the book quite well.
Saw this on the shelf and had to check it out! For Star Trek fans this is a must have for your library -- even though it is a toddler-style book. Even if your not a great fan of the original series, it's still a hoot to look at! LOL way too much!
A highly entertaining board book of opposites to raise your kids right! I loved it, though in terms of learning, this is more funny than informative and it takes some previous knowledge of the show to make it fully worthwhile. Perfect for trekkies.

This looks awesome!
Trekkie fans, be sure to click over to Amazon and then "Search inside" the book for some really fun pics ;-)

I hereby give this book infinity stars. I now need to make babies so I can read this book to them. God, please, please give me a nice, loyal, faithful, chunky dork soulmate so I can make this happen. Thank you. Love, Andy.
Okay, so I read this in a few seconds while at MicroCenter, but I had to enter it here as a great gift idea for expectant Trekkers! Way cute (photos all from original Trek).
Ha, this book was hilarious for my husband and me. The kids didn't have any interest in it though. The pictures just crack me up.
This has the makings of an essential board book for future sci-fi readers, except that the "mean" page would give real children nightmares.
If this book had been available before the crass consumerism season had ended, you all would have received a copy.
Totally cute. I'm not even a trekkie, and I found it amusing.
Simple. Brilliant. Hilarious. Recommend for ages 3 to 300.
I really can't recommend this one enough!
Because you want to raise them right.
It really gave me a giggle! Too funny!
It's not a kids book.
Best book ever, for real.
Simply adorable!
Simple concept of opposites. Great Trek imagery including a shot of the Gorn ("I will be merciful and quick!").
