Baby Loves Quarks! (Baby Loves Science Book 2)

This book is perfect FOR BABIES. We have a four year old and ten month old..the ten month old LOVES this book. We read it and then she hands it to us to read it again. We got this just before going on a trip that involved a ridiculously long plane trip. I think everyone within hearing radius of us on the plane could recite this book , given that we read it about 150 times! It's short and cute and basically just introduces the concepts of quarks, nucleus (of an atom), atoms and molecules. My four year old has already memorized it and loves to "read" it to his sister. We have some other (fill in the blank) for babies type books, but a lot of them are actually for older kids, this is actually for babies and gets my baby's stamp (or drool) of approval!

Edit: baby is 19 months and brings this book to me to read. He turns the pages and really enjoys it. There are pictures of animals and other pictures I can point to and practice saying the words since he’s close to talking himself. At 8 months old, my baby is too young to understand and just wants to chew on the book. From my perspective, the way quarks is explained is well done in a comparison to child’s building blocks and the world around them. I’m looking forward to seeing how my child learns from this book as he gets older and can read it. The artwork is appealing and I’ll probably buy other books in the series.

I love this book! Not only is it educational, but it's not boring. It is well written with lots of colorful pages and compares quarks with building blocks which is perfect. I've read another Ruth Spiri book (Aerospace Engineering) and was not impressed, but this book makes me want to buy more from her. The book itself is high quality, sturdy, and bright. My children can abuse this book and it will last. [...]

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.

Often the "baby science" genre is really for adults and doesn't present the material in an interesting way for a toddler or infant. I was a little worried that the topic for this one would be too technical. I should have trusted the authors! It's a great introduction to the idea of things being made of other categories of things, and it introduces quarks, atoms, and molecules in a fun way. My 2 year old daughter and I have read every book in this series except Quantum Physics (yet!) and would enthusiastically recommend all of them except maybe Green Energy (which my daughter doesn't mind, but I found a bit reductive). Baby Loves Coding is by far her favorite, while mine is probably Baby Loves Thermodynamics.

This book may or may not be too advanced for the child to whom I am gifting it. It is a cute concept and I learned something reading it myself! I am not sure whether the child will be interested in this topic, but the artwork is colorful and happy, so I am hoping for the best.

I've been on a science baby book kick for the last year or so, and I love this one! The drawings are cute and colorful, the explanation simple, and reading this book gave us adults new insight too! We noticed that the quarks looked to be different configurations in the protons and electrons, but didn't know why... So 3 adults set out on an online mission to understand more about nature's building blocks. Oh yeah, I should probably mention that my 20 month old child also enjoys reading this book. :-) We've been fans of Chris Ferrie's Baby University books, but the layout and simplicity of explanation in this one wins it for me.

Fun introduction to physics for the littlest ones. It is a cute story that doesn't dwell too much on science, but presents a hook that opens the door for discussions as your child grows. After we bought this for us, I bought another copy as a gift for my friend's kids. My friend is a physicist, and loved this book so much he took it with him the next time he went to a conference to show all of his colleagues.

My daughter is almost two and this is one of her favourite books. She loves the illustrations and Ive been having to read it to her a dozen times over. She keeps talking to people about 'electrons' and 'neutrons' and we get a lot of 'what did she just say?'. Great way to introduce very small children to science.

Very informative and wonderfully scripted the concept for Babies

Great book in a great series

Bellissimo libro cartonato, mia figlia, un anno, lo adora e spiega in modo semplice come sono fatti gli atomi

Great quality book! It obviously doesn't go into detail but a fantastic way to introduce young children to the concept. No idea if it's starting to make any sense to my toddler yet but he certainly loves the pictures!
