Quantum Physics for Babies: 1 (Baby University)

Product Information

Whether you’re expecting an amazing bundle of joy, or already have one or more, these new books by Chris Ferrie are perfect!" — Kelly’s Thoughts on Things This book, though has a cute premise, is not worth anything. The pictures are MS PAINT or similar quality. Nothing an infant would want to look at. The science is wrong. The grammar is atrocious. Here is the full text, with punctuation: Start ’em young with this STEM-centric board-book that promotes science literacy." — Los Angeles Times

Mendlesohn, Farah. “Is There Any Such Thing as Children’s Science Fiction?: A Position Piece.” The Lion and the Unicorn, vol. 28, no. 2, 2004, pp. 284–313. We were intrigued how Chris would master introducing quantum physics to such young minds but we were impressed! Neutrons, protons, atoms, electrons are explained as simply as possible. The drawings are again so easy to understand. This kept our three year old’s interest right until the end and she was happy to learn that she is now on her way to being a quantum physicist! There are few things cute than hearing a child under 5 saying quantum physicist." — TheBabySpot.CAAccess-restricted-item true Addeddate 2023-01-12 09:29:34 Boxid IA40362319 Camera USB PTP Class Camera Collection_set printdisabled External-identifier

Considering I had no idea what a "quantum" was, this book taught me something. Seriously, why aren't all difficult subjects taught in this manner? The basics at least. I might have done better in school in those subjects at least.Pringle, Rose M. and Linda L.

Lauber, Patricia. “What Makes an Appealing and Readable Science Book?” The Lion and the Unicorn, vol. 6, no. 1, 1982, pp. 5–9. Ferrie delivers a cleanly designed introduction to how matter and energy interact on an atomic level." — Publishers WeeklyThis article examines three board books which present scientific knowledge in a context for babies and toddlers. Although children’s science books have existed for generations explaining basic concepts and animal-habitat identification among other things, these board books are the start of a recent movement which presents sophisticated concepts such as Quantum Physics. But are these quirky books actually for toddlers, or for the parodic amusement of science-minded adults? Based on considerations of the cognitive requirements of science, use of picture books in acquisition of literacy, analysis of visual and linguistic design elements, accuracy of information, and the pre-science and future-looking potential of these books I argue that the ostensible purpose lies in encouraging young audiences toward science as they mature. Keywords This series is entirely age-appropriate and baby-accessible, featuring bright colors and simple sentence structure; it's just that instead of teaching words like "hippopotamus" they teach words like "electron". A wonderful way to help stimulate interest in math and science from an extremely early age, the Baby University series is highly recommended, especially for library collections intended for pre-Kindergarten children." — Midwest Book Review

Mom review: Not very deep, but pretty good for a baby book. And even I learned something. Baby really seemed to like the simple pictures and bright shapes. Dad approves because it's more educational than the calculus book (which baby and I haven't read yet, but he has). Like the other science series for babies by Chris Ferrie, this book is quirky, full of little balls of all sorts, and attempts to explain some seriously difficult theories/ concepts/ scientific terminologies using ridiculously simple sentences aim at young kids. The title is misleading: this book is definitely not for babies. 2 year old little-AJ doesn't like it. The balls make no sense to him, and the words used in this book are unheard of. But mummy loves it, although mummy has many questions that she wishes to ask (but left without answers) after reading this (which might be the whole purpose of this book: triggering passion for a subject and encouraging more questions). urn:oclc:record:970392886 Foldoutcount 0 Identifier quantumphysicsfo0000ferr_q4j7 Identifier-ark ark:/13960/s2g6bf11dz8 Invoice 1652 Isbn 9781492656227 selectedStore.City }}, {{ selectedStore.State }} {{ selectedStore.Country }} {{ selectedStore.Zip }}

I gave this to my brother and sister-in-law for the birth of my nephew. They opened the gift at a baby shower. Many other guests laughed at the title, thinking it was a joke. Those people then marveled at how the book is NOT a gag gift; it is actually to ensure my nephew grows into the genius that his genes demand. :D Subjects: Early learning / early learning concepts , Picture books , Juvenile Nonfiction / Concepts / General , Juvenile Nonfiction / Reference / General , Juvenile Nonfiction / Science & Nature / Physics A very simplified intro to data, computing, and the difference between normal computing and quantum computing. In this board book series, Ferrie makes his knowledge accessible to the youngest of readers—and probably some adults, too… the subject material will certainly be enjoyable for trendy caretakers to read aloud. (And the pictures of babies chewing on the covers are going to be #instaworthy.)" — Shelf Awareness for Readers
