Quantum Physics for Babies: The Perfect Physics Gift and STEM Learning Book for Babies from the #1 Science Author for Kids (Baby University) Board book – Picture Book, May 2, 2017

This book is one that is either stand-alone, or one of a set that includes titles such as 'General Relativity for Babies' and 'Astrophysics for Babies' (some others of which I have purchased, as gift to a friend with a newborn). Obviously, even the most mild treatment of such a topic is going to require either extraordinary talent on the part of the baby, or a book that is little more than a tactile experience for the baby. But here's the deal - this isn't meant just for babies (sorry to ruin the surprise!).This book, and others like it in the series, is meant for the adults in the baby's life - if the adults begin to learn how to teach in very simple ways some of the most complex and deep of scientific truths and discoveries at a very early age, who knows? We might be producing the next Max Planck or Werner Heisenberg (although I'm always uncertain as to how to spell his name). At the very least, we'll be raising a generation who isn't afraid of science and complex ideas, for they will have had them literally from the cradle. And that's what makes this series so great.This particular book starts with basic concepts useful in physics and quantum theory. It starts with a ball. The ball has energy. Then another ball. It has no energy. Inside the ball are atoms. Inside the atoms are more things. And down it goes. Of course, these are very basic, and there are issues with the depiction, but guess what? Any depiction, even purely mathematical ones, have issues, when it comes to quantum theory - even the heavyweights such as Einstein had a struggle with it, and we're still in the process of trying to figure out how the very large (general relativity) can in fact be reconciled with the very small, being presented here. But getting used to things early will make any child (and any adult helping the child) more at ease with the more complex pieces later on.Don't worry, phrases like 'definitely determine' are not part of the book, or others in this series. It is colourful. It is fun. It is useful. An ideal gift in many ways, for baby and new parents.

These books are bright, colorful and a wonderful way to get infants and toddlers interested in the sciences.

What a creative educational tool for young children!

I dont know how, but it happened. I got it on video, and Im so proud.I think the pages were simple, and the words werent too difficult to say.Its a great way to introduce a big idea into their little minds.I would highly recommend this book.

As far as a children's book goes, it's cute. Since I know quite a bit about quantum physics I feel the book falls a little short and misses some of the basics. In fact, I feel like the author draws some of the ideas in this book far too long. The book itself is easy to read, the pictures are basic, and big so each page is very clear to a child. Before I would buy another book in this series I will go to the book store and physically look at the other books to see if they would be worth buying since buying this book doesn't scream "buy more" to me. If I look into the other books I will post an update.

Got this for my Dad to read to my Niece. My Dad was reading her a children's book and became exasperated when they called a Orange a circle... "Oranges are spheres, how can a Child learn from this?"This book actually teaches science correctly (on a baby level) is smart and very cute. My Dad also made a point of asking me to write a review pointing out how nicely the book was constructed. "First rate, on nice thick Yardstick cardstock!"On another note, The baby truly enjoys Grandpa's excitement about the book, Listening to Grandpa read, and watching Grandpa point out the words and the overall story.

Fun addition to our grandson's bookshelf.Now, I can't believe I'm typing this, but it's a little light. It could use about 4 more pages. Like a lecture from a not-so-great professor, there are some jumps that remind me of those lectures where they say "From here, it is obvious that ..." But, before I launch into some sort of peer review, consider the reader, who is far more interested in grabbing the corner of the book to chew on rather than understanding the concepts of quantum physics.

My baby loves the book
