This amazing book is aimed at children aged 8+ so I thought I would show it to DS9 today to see what he thought of it. He wasn't fazed by the fact that it's known to be one of the hardest subjects to study, he just opened it up like a regular book, read the simple information and studied the eye-catching illustrations.

This book is a brilliant introduction to the world of quantum physics… There is something in the book for everybody. I would recommend this book to anybody who is interested in what the world is made of, anybody who loves to ask questions and anybody who loves science.
This book is great to introduce key concepts to children (and their parents!) in the most simplest and entertaining way possible. It's given my kiddies the chance to discover particles and photons, radioactivity and the structure of the atom, as well as reading about famous scientists of the past.

An excellent first look at this complex science… a beautifully presented non-fiction book that children of a wide range of ages can enjoy. the illustrations are bright and inviting and combined with key facts and concepts, it provides big ideas in a real child friendly way. If you weren't already into science, My First Book of Quantum Physics could be the thing to change your mind as this guide makes everything that little bit clearer and adds a certain amount of fascination to this underrated subject.

"Filled with colorful and playful illustrations by graphic designer Eduard Altarriba, the book provides a basic introduction for children as young as eight to the development and key concepts of that highly complex subject."
"With experiments, facts and figures this illustrated guide is a perfect buy for any wannabe scientist"

This book builds on the practical with a ton of really awesome theoretical and descriptive information on practical science and will definitely serve as a superb conversation point for many years to come. Some really awesome stuff about atomic structures and the theories surrounding the creation of our universe. Superb stuff!

Quantum physics has an image problem. Spooky, wacky, strange—the adjectives often used to describe its inner workings—paint a picture of an esoteric discipline. Yet, it is the rules of quantum physics that dictate the structure of matter, that help interpret the signals from distant stars, and that make your smartphone run. This message is nicely conveyed in My First Book of Quantum Physics… The illustrations are clear, eye-catching, and consistent… The book leaves young readers with a sense of quantum physics as a vibrant, active pursuit that has and will continue to influence their lives in very real ways.
The very friendly illustrations, and quite large font size in this book belies the difficultly level of the subject matter and text in this absorbing yet challenging physics book. This is an exciting book in that it leads to further thought and investigation rather than just imparting knowledge. There are good colourful graphics that attempt to illuminate the harder principles… Amusing, stimulating and challenging – an awesome if ambitious science book.” 7th November 2018

"The way this book is written is a masterpiece. Things I’ve never ever been able to wrap my mind around are presented with such clear language and examples. If you have an older child, this would be the perfect book to start getting back into the school frame-of-mind, but in a fun, summer way"

A great starter book for any child who is showing so much willingness to learn or for those who are struggling to get to grips with science at school. It is, therefore, a book for all levels and even for us adults if we've forgotten or got lost along the way.” 2nd April 2018

It seems an impossible topic but the authors succeed brilliantly in making the world of quantum physics clear and understandable through the role it plays in our everyday lives. The book relies heavily on visual impact, with colourful layouts, masses of explanatory diagrams and friendly cartoon characters to help readers understand; the explanations are clear and concise every user-friendly. Who would have thought quantum physics could be so engrossing? Perfect for all ages, to really encourage an interest in science and to de-mystify it.” 2nd April 2018

What this highly illustrated book does is take key concepts and ideas and explains them in a way that is comprehensible – no easy task – to both upper primary and lower secondary age children, but this is entertainingly written and invitingly presented with lots of diagrams and illustrations including a quantum timeline. This is an excellent introduction; author Ferron and illustrator Altarriba have done a great job to make it accessible and exciting.

My First Book of Quantum Physics is an entertaining illustrated guide which explains key concepts and big ideas in a simple and accessible way, giving children a fun and engaging introduction to the fascinating and mysterious world of physics. It’s a great way to enthuse them with STEM subjects in general and Physics in particular.

2018-06-25 In all, probability.In bright and stylishly retro, if unsystematic, fashion, Ferrón and Altarriba present our current bewildering picture of reality. They start with Newton and his laws, then forge ahead in not particularly chronological order past: Planck's notion of quanta, the discovery of the photon, subatomic particles and anti-particles, molecules, the uncertainty principle, quantum entanglement, Marie Curie's work, the tunnel effect, the Standard Model, and the recently verified Higgs boson. In their haste to cover so much they sometimes neglect to define or explain terms when first used, make a misleadingly backward claim that the "higher the frequency of a photon, the more energy it will have," and include data such as atomic weights in a periodic table and mass numbers for the 16 types of particles (e.g., "=2.4 Me/c2" for up quarks) without comment or explanation. They also show a tendency to anthropomorphize ("Some atoms have such a big nucleus that they start to feel ‘UNCOMFORTABLE' "), close with a timeline that contains a certain amount of unexplained new material, and finish off with a spread of untranslated equations and constants. If not enlightenment—an elusive goal—readers will come away with plenty of new vocabulary, plus nodding acquaintances with Einstein and other greats, Schrödinger's cat, and the central role of quantum physics in current and future tech.Nominally aimed at children 8 and up, this may have more appeal to parents of graduates of Baby University and like series.
