"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
"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
"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
"Whether you're expecting an amazing bundle of joy, or already have
one or more, these new books by Chris Ferrie are perfect" -
