Baby Loves Science: Exploring Quantum Physics!

Dakota Rocklyn: For delicate age my grandson is four and he enjoyed the book a great deal, so did the grown-ups going? Oh, is that what quantum physics is like you never heard of it or something before anyway my little guy loves it

Dennis: Nachdem ich vor einem Jahr "Baby Loves Coding" verschenkt habe gab es für die Tochter einer Bekannten dieses Jahr "Baby Loves Quantum Physics" und dieses finde ich nochmal besser gelungen als Coding. Und das obwohl ich Programmierer bin^^

In dem Buch wird auf sehr einfache Weise das Konzept von Schrödingers Katze erklärt. Meinem Empfinden nach ist es genau richtig aufgebaut und schön genug illustriert um Kleinkinder bei der Stange zu halten, während sie mit steigendem Alter aber vielleicht tatsächlich noch eine neue Information mitnehmen.

Was man von einem Kleinkinder Buch aber natürlich nicht erwarten sollte, ist dass hier wirklich Quantenphysik gelehrt wird. Wie auch beim Coding Buch, und vermutlich der gesamten restlichen Reihe, geht es mehr um die hübsche Aufmachung und dann noch ein bisschen Informationen einzuschmuggeln. Außerdem sorgen die Bücher fast garantiert für Schmunzler bei den Erwachsenen.

Das Coding Buch war letztes Jahr ein großer Hit, dass die Kleine immer wieder aus dem Regal geholt hat, und ich hoffe Mal, dass Quantum Physics genauso viel Anklang finden wird. Qualitativ und illustrationstechnisch gibt es aber auch jeden Fall...

Kerry Brown: I love this book for my little girl and will be buying more in the series. Gorgeous illustrations.

Lejla: We have all the other titles from the series and my daughter loves them. This is very well written and made very simple. It leaves you in a way that you can discuss it with your child and explain more to them and open other subjects. Great piece.

A Bee: Probably one of the better books in the series, in my opinion. It’s short and wonderfully illustrated like all the others. The story is simple. My little one constantly chooses this first over the others. This one, Gravity, thermodynamics, and Quarks are the ones my little one wants to read over and over.

jpendergast31: My daughter loves cats and loves this series. She has other baby loves science books and in the back of the books she can see what other books they have in the series. So she was familiar with it's existence but when she physically saw that we got her the book she was so excited! She's 22months old and absolutely LOVES this book. Realistically any of the books for the baby loves science series!

Amanda: This book teaches about Schrodinger's cat! In this book, my son loves to find the kitty.
My toddler loves these "baby loves science" books and so do my husband and I! They break down topics that we both learned in engineering school into simple concepts. Those concepts are framed in very kid-friendly stories. They are super easy to understand and follow. I wish science would have been introduced to me in this simple manner.

Nudgyparent: The book explains Schrodinger's cat excellently (it uses awake/asleep instead of alive/dead) but doesn't really go into any other aspect of quantum physics. In fact, after reading the book, I had to go to google to remind myself what quantum physics actually is. No matter. Child thinks it's excellent because it has a cat in it.

reviewerpi: Being a physicist, I bought a good number of physics related books for my baby. (Maybe too many). My daughter loves this book. Yes, it is very very very basic but so are many of these baby science type books. The artwork is engaging and my daughter loves looking for the cat. I have both the Thermodynamics and this one by Ruth Spiro and my daughter loves them both. Personally, I like the Quantum one better than the Thermodynamics (because I feel the content in Quantum physics is more related than the content in Thermodynamics is to concepts) but my daughter loves them both equally. The imagery and the writing are much more at the level of my 2 year old than some of the other books. I really don't like how bare Chris Ferrie books can be, they aren't warm and inviting like these books. I have two of Ruth Spiros and several Chris Ferrie (ABCs of Mathematics, Physics, Science, and General Relativity) , but my child prefers Spiro's books over Ferrie's.

Marie: This is one of our 2 year old's favorite books - and has reliably been for a year already. The pages are colorful and exciting and have lots of things to "discuss" with with your child (the meow, bedroom furniture etc). Yes it is mostly a reference to schrodinger's cat and not about wave functions, but it's a cute story and makes a kid want to read it - which I believe is what a toddler book is supposed to do! Other toddler quantum books have less color and aren't as fun for them. For those parents who are looking for something a little more advanced: I've taken several quantum physics courses myself and if you want a book that goes into more detail, buy the Griffiths textbook, which, although it can be read to a toddler, it's probably in a different section of the website. Good luck with Dirac notation; you'll probably want a white board and some markers too.
