2.0 out of 5 stars Very Basic, 31 Aug 2004
By A New Parent (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The advice it gives and suggestions it makes will be obvious to most. Anyone with any degree of common sense will already appreciate that pointing out colours, textures and so forth to a child will develop their language skills. I was hoping for a bit more insight as to how children learn and the different stages of their development. Unfortunately these two topics are not covered by this book.

Overall it's not a terrible book but only consider buying it if you really don't have the first clue about kids. I'm hardly a touchy-feely new-age bloke and it was way below me!

5.0 out of 5 stars Important Information, 20 Sep 2004
By A Customer
I found this book to be very interesting and easy to read. I enjoyed the way the author stated the important information in such an easy to read and friendly format. I think that many parents take for granted that their children will learn to talk. This book helped me realize that I can do easy and fun things to enhance my son's development. I would recommend it to busy parents who need good information fast.

5.0 out of 5 stars "Well worth the price!", 25 Jan 2006
By A Customer
Several of my friends had recommended this book and have said that they had seen a noticeable difference in their child's ability to talk. They were right. This book was easy to read and very practical. I am the mother of twins, and the suggestions were fun and didn't require a lot of extra time. I would recommend it to all parents of children from birth to at least age 3 years.
