Summary

“Why does a noodle fall? Because of gravity!” Babies will have observed the central action this book presents—the fall to the floor of some tidbit from their highchair trays—over and over, but does “When Baby drops something, the earth pulls it down” adequately describe the phenomenon? For a toddler audience, even simple explanations of the science in this book require more exposition than board books allow and raise more questions than they answer. “Everything is made of matter. The amount of matter is called mass.” OK, what is matter? And if gravity makes spaghetti fall to Earth, why does it make the moon go around it? [2]

About "Baby Loves Gravity!": Accurate enough to satisfy an expert, yet simple enough for baby, this clever board book explores the ups and downs of gravity. When baby drops food from a high chair, why does it fall? Beautiful, visually stimulating illustrations complement age-appropriate language to encourage baby’s sense of wonder. Parents and caregivers may learn a thing or two, as well! [3]

Pros

Deb Nance as one of the reader gave her testimonial for this book, she said that Baby Loves Gravity explained the concepts of mass and gravity in a simple and practical way so that even young children can understand it. And for the first time, she understand about gravity too. [4] Lillian gave also compliment to this book, "Really nice science book with lovely illustrations; revisit at toddler age but still fun now." [5]
