Astrophysics for Babies: 0 (Baby University)

This book is really helpful to make the babies understand about stars. Overall good

Our five year old grandson to whom we had gifted the book titled "Astrophysics for Babies" by Chris Ferrie & Julia Kregenow was quick to point out on page 14, a printing error. Element Ca has been expanded and denoted as Carbon. Photograph attached. What a joke......

The book is just waste of money

Not good

Livre adapté à mon enfant de 1 an et demi, pages très épaisses, elles résistent aux mordillons, explications simples et illustrées, et parfait pour familiariser à l'anglais, je crois que je vais acheter les autres livres de la collection

A jokey format really but with a profound message for everyone. Highly recommended.

Well written and understandable. Even for adults.

Je suis devenu un vrai fan de ces livres, tout comme mon fils. Bien qu'il soit encore un peu jeune pour en profiter pleinement, ils commencent très simplement et je suis convaincu qu'ils l'aideront à travers les premières étapes de la scolarité.Chaque livre de la série part du même point conceptuel d'une «balle», quelque chose auquel la plupart des enfants peuvent s'identifier, et dans la plupart des cas, vous pouvez en trouver un autour de la maison pour aider à visualiser davantage le contenu.La fin du livre peut être un peu complexe même pour les adultes mais cela n'empêche pas mon fils de m'aimer essayer d'expliquer ce qui se passe.Bien:- Livres intelligents pour enfants et adultes- Éducatif tout en s'amusant- Thème cohérent tout au long de la sérieMauvais:- Je ne suis même pas sûr de comprendre.Je recommande pleinement ce livre et les autres de la série à tout parent ou tuteur.==== ==== ==== ====I have become a real fan of these books, and so has my son. Although he is still a bit young to fully enjoy them, they start very simple, and I am convinced they will help him through the early stages of schooling.Each book in the series starts from the same concept point of a “ball” , something that most children can relate to, and in most cases you can find one around the house to help further visualize the content.The ending of the book can be a bit complex even for the adults but that doesnt stop my son from loving me try to explain what is happening.Good:- Clever books for children and adults- Educational whilst fun- Consistent theme throughout the seriesBad:- I'm not sure even I understand.I fully recommend this book and the others in the series to any parent or guardian.

This book is one that is either stand-alone, or one of a set that includes titles such as 'Rocket Science for Babies' and 'General Relativity for Babies'. 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 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 Einstein or Newton. 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 astronomy and astrophysics. A ball. A ball is a round sphere. So are planets! So, it is relatable, even to the adults in the room. The Sun is also a ball, but a bigger ball. The Earth goes around it. Other balls/stars are like the Sun - they are further away, the Sun is close up. Simple, yes, but you'd be astonished at just how many people don't get that! And perhaps they can be forgiven. Most of humanity didn't realize the distinction either until the 1600s when Christian Huygens (among others) worked to more definitely determine that fact.Don't worry, phrases like 'definitely determine' are not part of the book. It is colourful. It is fun. It is useful. An ideal gift in many ways, for baby and new parents.
