Nuclear Physics for Babies: A Simple Introduction to the Nucleus of an Atom from the #1 Science Author for Kids (STEM and Science Gift for Scientists) (Baby University)

This book is about red balls called protons. They have a positive charge, and they repel each other. There are also blue balls called neutrons. If you put a blue ball between two red balls, the two red balls will not repel and will not fly apart. The more red balls there are, the more blue balls we need. The red and blue balls are at the center of the atom. If the number red balls and blue balls is not right the nucleus becomes unstable, and it releases energy. That is radioactive decay. The book explains half-life. So that’s the story. It is simple and fun, and your baby can start working on his PhD in nuclear physics when he turns one years old.

Simple pictures but great book, my baby stares at the pages when I read it to her.

My grandson has almost all of the Chris Ferrie book collection. They are written in a way that keeps toddlers interested & we all are learning too!!!

This is a fun book for any child’s library!

I first started off with the Quantum physics book and then purchased the rest of the series, this is also not a hard book and my son and I had alot of fun reading it together. Learning about positive charges and I believe this book can then lead into the electromagnetism book, very fun. Great introduction for kids to explore the different types of sciences. Bonus makes your kid seem like a smarty pants!

I work in a graduate nuclear engineering program and got this for one of our PhD students. He was so tickled and has actually read it to his baby. We have three more babies coming in the next few months, so I bought three more for gifts. I'd buy a case of them if I could. The whole series is great. Substantial, sturdy book.

I always add this book to a baby gift bag. Every child I have read it to has enjoyed it.

So babies don't care you call them babies, but toddlers young children (you know, the ages that can actually pick some of this stuff up) can act like calling them babies is like calling them some kind of heinous mash-up of the of the c-word, n-word, and a personal slight about their appearance. I have gone as far as to marker out the world "baby" in an effort not to offend the tots so much that they turn away from science and into the waiting arms of climate-change deniers or anti-vaxxers. As for the wing... most rocket ships (ones that go to space not planes who do not) don't have lift wings because you don't need lift if you reach escape velocity, you just need not to hit anything. That's right, if you can drive your bike fast enough to reach and maintain escape velocity (you can't), and don't hit a mountain or something you will leave our terrestrial existence and fly off into space. This book gives the false impression that rockets need lift... they don't just speed!... wow this review really got away from me...
