Robotics for Babies Baby University Chris Ferrie Sarah Kaiser 0760789273735 Books Reviews

• The "story" is how to cut paper circles efficiently although the book never mentions that the circles are paper. Paraphrased, it says "circles are fun but scissors take too long so let's use a hole punch, but that is imperfect so let's use a machine, but we should add a computer so the machine works automatically, but the paper moved somehow so we need an arm & a camera & sensors. Now you know robotics." This book may inspire a kid to ask questions about robotics, but they aren't going to learn much, if anything, from reading this book. & it's pretty dull with boring pictures of a bunch of blue circles.
• Our baby and 4-year-old daughter love them. Simple, informative, and entertaining!
• This book is one that is either stand-alone, or one of a set that includes titles such as 'Rocket Science for Babies' and 'General Relativity for Babies'. Obviously, even the most mild treatment of such a topic is going to require either extraordinary talent on the part of the baby, or a book that is little more than a tactile experience for the baby. But here's the deal - this isn't meant just for babies (sorry to ruin the surprise!).
  
  This book is meant for the adults in the baby's life - if the adults begin to learn how to teach in very simple ways some of the most complex and deep of scientific truths and technological realities and complexities at a very early age, who knows? We might be producing the next Telsa or Edison – hence, Robotics here! At the very least, we'll be raising a generation who isn't afraid of science and complex ideas, for they will have had them literally from the cradle. And that's what makes this series so great.
  
  This particular book starts with basic concepts useful in robotics and technology. Yes, it starts with very simple concepts - these are baby steps, after all. Babies are going to be surrounded by technology all their lives, and the truth is, robots are already ubiquitous, even if they don't all look like the ones form 'Lost in Space' or 'I, Robot.' This a fun and beginning-basic way to look at some very fundamental concepts.
  
  Don't worry, phrases like ‘inertial dampeners' and 'positronic matrix' are not part of the book. It is colourful. It is fun. It is useful. An ideal gift in many ways, for baby and new parents.
• Good for baby. Should be more attractive or fun to read. Binding seems cheap.
