4.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant book on early development, 10 Nov 2002
By A Customer
A must for any new parent, or for anyone wanting to know about their own brain. Well argued, written and researched, it goes so much against the conventional wisdom on early childhood development, you can pretty much throw away the rest of your 'how to' books on parenting, read this, and work out the rest for yourself.

Warning: This is also published as 'How Babies think' so don't order both books.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book on Children I have ever read, 17 Jan 2001
This review is from: The Scientist in the Crib: Minds, Brains, and How Children Learn (Hardcover)
Finally! A book that's based on serious facts, yet that's readable by anyone. Not only that, the authors build on the facts to propose creative hypotheses regarding how we really function. Tired of pseudo-expertise... read this.
