Baby Loves Angular Momentum on Hanukkah!

Baby Loves Angular Momentum on Hanukkah!

By: Ruth Spiro / Illustrated by: Irene Chan

Big, brainy science for the littlest listeners.

Baby discovers the science behind spinning a dreidel on Hanukkah! Accurate enough to satisfy an expert, yet simple enough for baby, this clever board book explores angular momentum, torque, friction, and gravity. 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.

After a brief explanation of the holiday of Hanukkah, simple text explains that torque makes the dreidel spin and that the spinning dreidel has angular momentum. "That means it spins and spins instead of falling over. The spinning dreidel hits tiny molecules in the air. That creates friction. The point of the dreidel rubs against the table. That creates friction, too. Friction slows the dreidel down. As the dreidel spins slower, it loses angular momentum. Gravity makes it tilt and wobble. Gravity pulls the dreidel down. Clunk!" The book continues with the rules of the game and other ways that families celebrate the holiday, ending with: "Not all Baby's friends celebrate Hanukkah. . . but they can spin the dreidel. Baby loves Hanukkah!" Adorable, vibrant cartoon illustrations feature round-faced and wide-eyed toddlers with various skin and hair colors though "Baby" is white and sports a blue kippah. Green energy, coding, quantum physics, and thermodynamics are just some of the topics addressed in this cute, accessible "Baby Loves Science" board book series that will also include Baby Loves Electrical Engineering on Christmas! and Baby Loves Photosynthesis on St. Patrick's Day!. Here's hoping that more Jewish holidays will be added in the future!
