5.0 out of 5 stars What a fascinating insight!, 18 May 2008
This review is from: The Baby in the Mirror: A Child's World from Birth to Three (Paperback)
As a parent, grandparent and teacher I am fascinated by this amazing book. We put our own interpretations on to what we think babies are thinking and feeling and this super book gives a completely different story. It is highly informative, funny and fascinating. It is also very accessible for lay people like me. If you have any involvement with babies and very young children, I cannot recommend it highly enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well written; very enjoyable read, 22 Jul 2008
By C. Donnelly (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Baby in the Mirror: A Child's World from Birth to Three (Paperback)
I bought this book after an excellent Guardian Family section piece, with an interest in psychology (and psychotherapy) - I wasn't disappointed. It is beautifully written and interweaves scientific detail with a touching, at times funny and personal father's account of his own child's journey of discovery and mental growth. The level of understanding, as the previous reviewer states, is perfect for trained psychologist and layman alike and the text is written in a non-patronising and non-assuming manner. Charles Fernyhough's passion for this subject and his personal investment in this project shines through in this book and although there are times you know he wishes he could put the camera/notebook/tape recorder down and just enjoy the moment, his commitment to sharing his findings is to be applauded.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating and Entertaining, 27 Nov 2008
By Fran Lyon "Fran" (Newcastle. UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Baby in the Mirror: A Child's World from Birth to Three (Paperback)
I really enjoyed this. It's intelligent, thoughtful and heartwarming. So much is written about mothers and their children that it's great to have a different perspective. There's lots of really interesting child development research that I knew nothing about, but it's far from being a dry text book read. This is a book that should be essential for anyone working with young children or interested in Psychology, but it's not just for students or practitioners, it's a good read.
I'd recommend it to anyone without children and everyone with them!
