Do you have a little Einstein or a little Marie Curie at home? Launch your little one’s gray matter into orbit! Taking advantage of the fact that today is World Book Day and that our latest catalog is inspired by the laws of physics, we’ve created a list of science-themed children’s books. Shout it loud and clear: Eureka!
Montañas, Antonio Ladrillo.
This is the perfect book to help younger kids begin to identify the different colors of the visible spectrum. Simple illustrations will introduce them to the world of shapes and sizes through brief stories about mountains.
Counting things, Anna Kövecses.
The little mice created by the illustrator Anna Kövecses will become your kids’ new teachers. This artist invents worlds full of minimalist shapes and colors that will remind you of the paper dolls from years gone by (nostalgia alert!). In addition to helping kids learn to count, the book is in English, so it’s a simple and fun way to introduce them to the language.
Agujeros de la nariz, Genichiro Yagyu.
This book is part of the series called “The map of my body”. In this case, rather than physics, the author’s subject is our physique. His cleverly illustrated books explore different parts of the human body and explain their characteristics with a sense of humor that will make both children and adults chuckle. We love them!
La aventura atómica del profesor Astrocat, Dr. Dominic Walliman and B. Newman.
If your kids are between 9 and 11, you need to get them this illustrated book; it will be their first encyclopedia on physics. Professor Astrocat will teach them all about the core concepts of the fascinating world of physics while fueling their curiosity. An absolute must!
Mi primer libro de física cuántica, Sheddad Kaid-Salah Ferrón and Eduard Altarriba.
Does Shrödinger’s cat sound familiar? How about Newton’s apple? Do you know what an atom is? And antimatter? Dr. Albert will lead readers on an entertaining journey through the most important concepts and anecdotes from the world of quantum physics, sparking your little ones’ interests and motivations. Paired with the previous book, it will be a big hit for kids starting at 10 years old.
Las chicas son de ciencias: 25 científicas que cambiaron el mundo, Irene Civico and Sergio Parra, illustrated by Nuria Aparicio.
Newton, Einstein, Bohr, Pascal, Hawkins… Can you name some women scientists? After reading this book you’ll be able to, and there are a lot of them. A sample of 25 women without whose discoveries and contributions to the world of science nothing would be the same.
Destination: Space, Dr. Christoph Englert and Tom Clohosy Cole.
Come in, Houston. This is the perfect book for future astrophysicists and astronauts! Learn about the solar system, distant galaxies and all the mysteries of the universe—on board a spaceship. An introduction to the science of stars, planets and other space-based phenomena and their history. To infinity and beyond!
