My daycare provider recommended this book when I first brought my son to stay with her when I returned to work. During those early months where he mostly just ate, slept, and looked around, it was hard to know what to do with him, and Silberg offers some simple ways to introduce your baby to sounds and actions that he or she will be learning over the coming months and years.

The activities are divided into 0-3, 3-6, 6-9, and 9-12 month sections, and now that my son is approaching his first birthday it's fun to see how the games we play are becoming increasingly interactive.

Especially in the early chapters, her suggestions for games and activities may seem simplistic and repetitive, but sometimes your brain needs that basic kickstart. Good lists of activities with a passing mention of brain research into infant development, but nothing I'd go out of my way for.

Some really great ideas for my 2 year old! I can't wait to try them out. 4/5

Some good games.
