Start ’em young with this STEM-centric board-book that promotes science literacy." — Los Angeles Times 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. Canadian friends! You can find the books online at chapters.indigo.ca or in all great bookshops nationwide!

This 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.

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 A very simplified intro to data, computing, and the difference between normal computing and quantum computing. Written by an expert, Quantum Physics for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to the principle that gives quantum physics its name. Babies (and grownups!) will discover that the wild world of atoms never comes to a standstill. With a tongue-in-cheek approach that adults will love, this installment of the Baby University board book series is the perfect way to introduce basic concepts to even the youngest scientists. After all, it's never too early to become a quantum physicist! 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 Ferrie delivers a cleanly designed introduction to how matter and energy interact on an atomic level." — Publishers WeeklyPlease be aware that the delivery time frame may vary according to the area of delivery - the approximate delivery time is usually between 1-2 business days.
