Review

"I really like how simple this book is to use. Just find your baby's age range and pick a game. The blurb on each page about what brain research says is really informative, too." - 2012 Mom's Best Award Panel

"I enjoyed the brain research bubbles. Sometimes infant play can seem a little pointless and it's nice to have the reminder that helps one think of it from a perspective of building the child up instead of just another simple activity. I also like the resources list and index of skills developed in the back of the book. I could see that being quite useful if you want to emphasize a certain skill for your child at a particular time." - 2012 Mom's Best Award Panel

"I'd recommend this book to someone looking for ideas and who doesn't have much experience with children, perhaps a first-time mom. It's a good book to be included on a list of activity books to be used in combination with others for ideas." - 2012 Mom's Best Award Panel
