"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 "Lively explorations of physics, technology, and
space." - School Library Journal "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 Reader "Physicist and father Chris Ferrie
knows it's never too soon to learn Newton's three laws of motion or
Einstein's theory of general relativity. His board books are
illustrated with eye-catching graphics for baby geniuses and
written with a tongue in cheek humour for their adult friends, who
might also learn a thing or two about aerospace engineering." -
Plenty Magazine "Start 'em young with this STEM-centric board-book
that promotes science literacy" - Los Angeles Times "Simple
illustrations and simple explanations to launch your future rocket
scientist." - NPR, Science Friday "The Baby University board-book
series is designed to teach infants about the most fundamental
basics of science. 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 "The title page says it all. A rocket soother!
Your child will learn the basics of rocket science and Chris Ferrie
does not disappoint. How does a ball move? Can air go around it?
What happens if we change the angle of the ball? Where does the
shape go? Your little one will learn what happens when a wing has
lift and the simple illustrations do not disappoint. A brief
explanation of fuel for a rocket ship will send your child tumbling
into the fascinating world of rocket science. Your budding
scientist will love the simple explanations of complicated
concepts." - TheBabySpot.CA
