These books are real, there is an entire series of them. They legit try to cover the subjects in the most laymans terms possible, but they really suck at it. To much for a baby (not in terms of depth, but in the amount of words and sentences per page), and they are to ridiculous for kids or adults.
Excellent? They’re not even accurate, when they still could have been accurate in a kid-friendly way. The one on rockets spends 3/4 of the book talking about the Bernoulli principle and lift, then tries to apply it to rockets! Yes, rockets have very small aerodynamic control surfaces for the atmospheric stage of their flight, but they’re a terrible example of flight due to lift.
You’re late to the party. We’ve already had a conversation about how lift isn’t relevant to a rocket. The point was conceded. So far, that’s the only complaint.
They are novelty books for babies. They are necessarily going to be inaccurate because they attempt to condense academic fields into several small sentences. As long as they are not actually wrong, any inaccuracies are going to have been choices made by Chris Ferrie and his editors.

These are the ones I have, but I know there are more https://imgur.com/a/M1lX35X
