I have read the book and it is actually really cool.

Not babies but children are often more open to unconventional ideas.

I guess if you're taught that things can be in two places at once, can appear and disappear at random, and all sorts of other spooky weirdness, that would seem normal. Magic would lose a lot of charm, though.

You're on the fast lane to become “that kid” at school, for sure. “Have you seen the new superman? He shot lasers from his eyes! How cool was that!” “Laser? He must have admirable pupils, alright, but… what's so special about focused light, eh?”
