Format:Paperback
I found this book very useful as it gave an activity a week to do with my son from the day he was born that didn't involve expensive toys.
The only problems I found were:-
1. Some of the instructions and drawing weren't always clear and sometimes I wasn't sure that I was doing exactly what I should have been!
2. Some activities seemed beyond my son at the age they were suggested and I found myself thinking he was a failure at 20 weeks of age!

Format:Paperback
This book arrived promptly. I have read some really good ideas for baby activities but found the age at which some of the activities were pitched required a genius baby.
Format:Paperback
This book had so much potential but I instead find it excruciating to read - it needed a seriously good edit before going to print, cutting down the descriptions of the daily activities by at least half. Descriptions ramble on and are repetitive along the lines of - Take the block out of the box. Emphasise the word out. Take the cup out of the box. Emphasise the word out. Put the block in the box. Emphasise the word in. Put the cup in the box. Emphasise the word in. Try this activity again later with different objects etc etc etc etc (with the description continuing over the course of a page or two).
Such unnecessarily long descriptions, presented in stark print with minimal and often unclear illustrations, are brain-numbing to a new, sleep-deprived mum and uninspiring to a mum of a toddler. I feel the author (who is clearly experienced in the area) needed the publisher to give her a more dynamic, and certainly snappier and less laboured, framework to present her ideas.
