Summary
Big， brainy science for the littlest listeners。
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！

Using a baby dropping a noodle to the floor （which a dog then slurps up） is a cute way to introduce the concept of gravity to kids -- though I worry it just encourages more food-dropping :/I'm not sure how well the actual gravity explanation works？ I mean， gravity is such a weird force that it's not like I have a better idea。 But "Mass makes two objects pull together。 This pull is called gravity。" feels so non-intuitive。It's illustrated with a "weak pull" between the puppy and the baby sitting o Using a baby dropping a noodle to the floor （which a dog then slurps up） is a cute way to introduce the concept of gravity to kids -- though I worry it just encourages more food-dropping :/I'm not sure how well the actual gravity explanation works？ I mean， gravity is such a weird force that it's not like I have a better idea。 But "Mass makes two objects pull together。 This pull is called gravity。" feels so non-intuitive。It's illustrated with a "weak pull" between the puppy and the baby sitting on the floor next to each other， but we don't feel that pull， so it's so weird to assert that it exists。 （To be clear， I'm not disputing that it does exist， I just feel like it's a really confusing concept and that the book doesn't do much work to make that piece of it less confusing。）It goes on to say that the earth has a lot of mass （relative to things on the earth， like babies and puppies）， so when we drop things， the earth pulls those things down。It then expands outward in scope to note that gravity makes the moon go around the earth and the earth go around the sun -- but it doesn't explain why these more-mass objects don't full-on pull the less-mass objects to them like the previously mentioned examples of things falling to the ground on Earth。 （I have some understanding of why that doesn't happen， but I don't have a good enough understanding to be able to explain it to a questioning child-reader。）The baby in question is a short-haired Black baby， and doesn't get gendered （"him"） until the very last page。 。。。more

Babies drop objects， playing with gravity。 Simple explanation of how gravity works。

Such a well done series！

I like this book but I feel like it encourages kids to drop their food。

Just ok

Cute， but like the other ones in the series a bit limited。

Really nice science book with lovely illustrations; revisit at toddler age but still fun now。

I ADORE This book， and so does my toddler。 We love the whole series！ And this one a baby is experimenting with dropping things， and learns about gravity！

Nice。 I like how gravity is explained relative to mass。 I like how the kid does multiple drop tests。 The reason I give this book 4 stars is because I'm not going to encourage my kid to drop food from a high chair。 There's enough of a mess during meal time already！ Nice。 I like how gravity is explained relative to mass。 I like how the kid does multiple drop tests。 The reason I give this book 4 stars is because I'm not going to encourage my kid to drop food from a high chair。 There's enough of a mess during meal time already！ 。。。more

Baby Loves Gravity explains the concepts of mass and gravity in a simple and practical way so that even young children can understand it。For the first time， I may understand gravity now， too。

Fun explanation of gravity！ Love that this series features black children。
