About this deal

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). Please 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. This is a very cute book. Simple basic drawing, easy to understand, yet still informative. Whether or not it turned my children into geniuses remains to be seen :) 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.

Abell, Sandra K. “Children’s Literature and the Science Classroom.” Science and Children, vol. 46, no. 3, 2008, pp. 54–55. 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 Ik moet me inhouden niet teveel te gaan typen over dit babyboek. Het komt er op neer dat als ik dit boek als baby/peuter had voorgelezen gekregen ik waarschijnlijk gewoon was weggelopen. Dit is overigens een hele serie (ik heb ook Quantum Entanglement for Babies gelezen, ook niet goed), terwijl het lijkt toch het meest op een uit de hand gelopen grap. Is ook gewoon in het Nederlands vertaald. Terwijl het is echt saai, niet interessant en ook niet echt een uitleg, meer een opsomming van feiten. 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 ThingsMom 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). Canadian friends! You can find the books online at chapters.indigo.ca or in all great bookshops nationwide!

Accessed 12 November 2017. 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.CA

Quantum data cannot be copied, we cannot watch how a quantum computer works, and it solves really hard problems. I will be lying if I say I am not confused at all. The subject is definitely beyond me, but at least I can sort of repeat the really cool terminologies and explain them in baby ways to other "dummies" like myself, as long as the "dummy" doesn't ask me more questions. 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.

I wish someone can be there to answer those silly questions of mine, but well done to the efforts of making a "dummies" version of quantum computing for both children and adult "dummies".
