Format:Paperback
This book must have been aimed at someone who has absolutely no idea of what to do with babies. Extremely patronising. It was not at all informative bar the first part of the book which told you what sort of things your baby should be doing at certain stages of development. I was hoping that this part would be expanded on, with maybe a brief introduction to child psychology and development. I just found it very condescending when each exercise was something that one would do fairly naturally...maybe I am mistaken. Eg. At bathtime, hold a facecloth in front of your face, then lower it and say peek-a-boo. Raise it and repeat.

I thought that this book was going to have loads of great and fun games to play, but instead it has very little in terms of imagination.
Here is an example of one of the games just to give you an idea of what's in this book:
*Caring tenderly for babies makes them feel loved and accepted.
*Singing lullabies while swaying with the baby in your arms is a wonderful way to develop trust.
*(gives an example of a lullaby)
*Think of lullabies. Sing or say them to your baby as you rock her and hold her close.
That's a game?? I thought it was more like common sense. The only reason I gave it 2 stars was because of the introduction with baby development, but honestly, you can get that online.
Unless you have no clue whatsoever about a baby at all and feel like you're only starting at him/her all day, then don't get this book.

Some of the reviewers have said that this is patronising and has really obvious ideas. I agree that some of the ideas are obvious BUT there is also tons of stuff i wouldn't have thought of and its great to expand the games that we play together.
I have found a lot of great new rhymes and games that have become favorites and some I know will always guarantee squeals of laughter from us both!!

Games to play
Very very basic games that people probably already play with their baby, for example naming parts of the body when washing in bath.
