Newtonian Physics for Babies - (Baby University) by Chris Ferrie (Board Book)

About the Book

Provides an elementary introduction to Newton's laws of motion.

Book Synopsis

Open the door to a lifetime of curiosity! A joyful, brain-boosting first step into science for babies and toddlers.

Introduce your little learner to Newton's laws of motion with a science book that's more than just cute--it's clever, accurate, and made to grow with your child.

Newtonian Physics for Babies is part of the bestselling Baby University series by physicist and father Chris Ferrie. With colorful visuals and simple language, it turns concepts like gravity, force, and acceleration into words and images even toddlers can grasp--while giving parents a refresh too.

Whether you're raising a future engineer or just want smarter storytime, this board book for children ages 0-4 is a standout way to make early reading educational and engaging.

Why families and educators love this STEM book:

• Real science, simplified - Introduces Newtonian concepts like force and mass to the smallest scientists, without dumbing them down.
• Vocabulary-building for tiny brains - Helps toddlers connect words like "gravity" to real-world play.
• Minimalist illustrations that focus young eyes - Bold shapes and clean layouts support attention and retention.
• Ideal Gift for Smart Starts - A thoughtful pick for baby showers, birthdays, or early education libraries.

Review Quotes

"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 Readers

"Let's weigh in on gravity. The book keeps your little ones interested as they learn that Sir Isaac Newton wrote the three laws of motion. The apples do not float away but feels the force of gravity once they fall off of a tree. The bright drawings draw your child in as Chris uses easy to understand words to introduce your child to Newtonian Physics. As Chris says, it only takes on small spark to ignite a child's mind. This quality book is exactly what we should feel our babies and children with. Hey, you might walk away learning something.

Feel free to use demonstrations while explaining Newtonian Physics to your little one. Every child loves a good item falling to the ground!" -- TheBabySpot.CA

"Lively explorations of physics, technology, and space." -- School Library Journal

"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

"Simple illustrations and simple explanations to launch your future rocket scientist." -- NPR, Science Friday

"Start 'em young with this STEM-centric board-book that promotes science literacy by introducing concepts such as mass, net force and gravity. " -- Los Angeles Times

"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
