Poor title & gives wroung impression about wings on Rocket ship

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...

Not as good as others in the series

Not as good as others in the series. This one seems to be more cutesy; whereas, others cover more of the topic.

Fun and Enjoyable

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 am a nanny and these books are a hit with my families!

I buy a new book per month and these are the far out voted favorites.Good colors for new borns to be interested in and short enough for a toddler to enjoy and helps them learn :)

Great introduction to basic science

Like all the other "Baby University" books, this one presents the basics of nuclear physics correctly and simply. It is a great way to introduce science to little children so their interest can be sparked very early and encourage them to love science.

Love these

Love, love, love these books! My 2 year old daughter mostly just looks at the pictures right now, but does enjoy them. I have to admit, I've learned a thing or two from these.

So Fun

My son LOVES these books! He loves looking through them himself and pointing at the pictures so we can read single pages, and also going through the entire books. Rare to have books that keep his attention so far, so these are fantastic! Plus my husband and I have learned quite a bit too.

Makes science fun

I purchased this book for my one-year-old son. He is only slightly interested in the book right now. I on the other hand find it quite interesting and informative.
