PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Ferrie delivers a cleanly designed introduction to how matter and energy interact on an atomic level; he begins with a recognizable blue ball, set against a white background, then goes deep. "All balls are made of atoms," he writes before lightly touching on the particles within atoms, the energy they possess, and how it is absorbed or released. It's unclear, though, how much children will themselves absorb: "This energy is quantized," reads one page, but no explanation of the term is given, and the accompanying image (of three charged electrons) is identical to one used earlier to highlight the idea that "All electrons have energy." Simultaneously available: General Relativity for Babies, Newtonian Physics for Babies, and Rocket Science for Babies. Up to age 3.
