Expected something different |
| While I think this is a great book, I expected it to be a better resource of games. It is more general than expected and you have to wade through the chapters to find the game suggestions. This makes it more difficult to use as a resource later when you are likely to want to look up games for a specific age-group. While they do have a "Tips Revisited" chapter where they list the games by age, I wasn't pleased with the generalness of the descriptions given. I just wasn't excited about the organization of the book. I much preferred "Your Baby's Mind" by S. H. Jacobs (except his dismissal of early exposure to books). I did however love the book "Baby Signs' by these same authors. |

A great start to understanding a child's mind |
| I thought this was a great intro to understanding an infant or toddlers mind, and gives some very basic but very useful ideas for parents to incorporate into a child's daily routine. It IS very basic, however I know for a fact that some parents would never give thought to the importance of some of these simple ideas. This book also has a lot of excellent research articles which are very interesting, and of importance to any parent. |

Deceptive Title |
| When a book is titled "Baby Minds: Brain Building Games Your Baby Will Love", you would expect that games would be the focus of the book -- at least I did! Instead, the "games" are limited to a few tips. In fact, the authors summarize the "games" in a mere 4 pages at the end of the 190 page book. And as other reviewers have noted, many of the games are regurgitated ideas. (like "Have a Tea Party" or "limit television time" or "Read Nursery Rhymes") The informationon brain development is interesting, but I expected that to be the lesser portion of the book, give the focus of the title. |
