 Goodreads Synopsis: 
Rocket Science for Babies by Chris Ferrie is an introduction to aerospace engineering (also known as rocket science). Baby will learn the principles of lift and thrust, the forces responsible for flight. This is the first in a series of books designed to stimulate your baby and introduce them to the world of science.
Review: 
So I am a rocket scientist now... the book said so. These books are adorable for all ages and I loved them. This first one that I read is all about energy and pushing a rocket into space. Each page has a simple bright image for babies and a short line of text exampling the images.

Goodreads Synopsis: 
Simple explanations of complex ideas for your future genius!

Written by an expert, Optical Physics for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to the principles of linear optics. Babies (and grownups!) will learn the difference between reflection and refraction and why both are necessary to create wonderful things like rainbows. With a tongue-in-cheek approach that adults will love, this installment of the Baby University board book series is the perfect way to introduce basic concepts to even the youngest scientists. After all, it's never too early to become a physicist!

Baby University: It only takes a small spark to ignite a child's mind.

Review: 
I learned SO much from this one! Do you know how double rainbows work?! I didn't! So this one was a huge win for me. Again these complex concepts are broken down into vivid yet simple images and short lines of text for parent/baby reading time. Overall I think that these will be far more entertaining to the parents but they are so clever regardless.

Goodreads Synopsis: 
Quantum Physics for Babies is a colorfully simple introduction to the principle which gives quantum physics its name. Baby will find out that energy is “quantized” and the weird world of atoms never comes to a stand still. It is never too early to become a quantum physicist!
Review: 
This book in the series is where I started to get lost - I am not a 'science/math' person so I did learn some things about Quantum physics that I did not know before, but it still seemed a bit too much for me as an adult reader - even with the simple renderings.  Again bright colored images and simple explanations are wonderful for younger readers.

Goodreads Synopsis: 

Quantum Entanglement for Babies is a colorful and simple introduction to one of Nature's weirdest features. Entanglement has puzzled even the world's greatest scientists. Maybe with an early start, Baby will be the first to understand it!
Review
And... I'm completely lost. Quantum entanglement might not be the best science principle to explain in a baby book, but it does offer beautiful bright pictures to go with the concepts. This book unlike the others is a bit more in depth with the explanations and the images are more page-filling and detailed than in the others.
