Accurate enough to satisfy an expert, yet simple enough for baby, this clever board book engages readers in a game of hide-and-seek with Schrodinger's famous feline. Can cat be awake and asleep at the same time? 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!
With tongue firmly in cheek, the Baby Loves Science series introduces highly intellectual science concepts to the littlest learners.

Hide the Cat
For a fun variation on peekaboo, hide a stuffed cat under a cardboard box and ask your child, "Where's the cat!?" Slightly older children can use this game to practice their directional and positional language. Can they put the cat:
- Under the box?
- In the box?
- Behind the box?
- On top of the box?
- Next to the box?

—Kiss the Book
To be fair, I like Spiro's other board book out this year, Baby Loves Thermodynamics, but of the two this one has my heart. Here is the description on the back: "Play hide-and-seek with Schrodinger's famous feline." You read that right, except in this case the cat is both asleep and not asleep when it is in the box. Dead cats are shockingly absent from board books these days.

However this isn’t quantum physics at all
1) quantum physics is about states/fields etc not about the paradox
2) the paradox is An old misconception (Schrodinger said it to explain what's wrong with QM, not at all that it really is that way), it's not true at all
My toddler loves these "baby loves science" books and so do my husband and I! They break down topics that we both learned in engineering school into simple concepts. Those concepts are framed in very kid-friendly stories. They are super easy to understand and follow. I wish science would have been introduced to me in this simple manner.

Unfortunately, whilst this stands as a simple story about a baby and a cat that will probably appeal to most very small children, it's not really about quantum physics. There's an attempt to link the cat to the famous Schrodinger's cat thought experiment, but which completely fails to get the point (don't worry though, no cats are harmed in the book). Given that this is the one time the book comes anywhere near talking about quantum mechanics, it's somewhat disappointing.
In retrospect, I'm not sure exactly what I was expecting from an attempt to present a highly technical subject for a very young audience, but I still feel this book could have delivered more on both science and content.
