Anthony Brown, The Observer July 9 2000

'A remarkable new book.' --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, eye-opening book for any parent., 14 Jul 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Social Baby: Understanding Babies' Communication from Birth (Hardcover)
This is a fascinating and eye-opening book which every mother and father should read. It makes you aware exactly how sensitive and intelligent babies are, and shows how inportant and rewarding communication with babies is. It is also very helpful in teaching parents how to respond to the cues of the baby. It made me realise that there is no such thing as 'difficult' babies, but only sensitive ones.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, highlighting infant commuication skills, 25 Aug 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: The Social Baby: Understanding Babies' Communication from Birth (Hardcover)
Lin Murray has written an amazing book which should be read by all those who come into contact with babies. The photographs of the ways every baby is able to communicate are wonderfully descriptive and give the reader a great insite into the world of the infant. I am sure this easy to read book will be welcomed by the Internation Assosiation of Infant massage as we teach massage through infant communication. Cherry Bond - Baby Massage Specialist

4.0 out of 5 stars The Social Baby, 18 Dec 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: The Social Baby: Understanding Babies' Communication from Birth (Hardcover)
I feel that this is a lovely book for anyone coming into contact with babies and small children. I hadn't realised before reading this book that babies are immediately communicating and interacting with their environment from birth. This book enables people to understand what a baby is communicating, and how to manipulate a babies environment to give it the best comfort. This book is a real gem.
