Book Reviews of What's Going on in There? : How the Brain and Mind Develop in the First Five Years of Life

Book Review: A "desert island" book
Summary: 5 Stars

We took our 10-month-old on vacation to France last summer. With shlepping all her gear, there was very little room to spare in our 22-lb baggage allotment. My partner still laughs at me because I insisted on dragging along this thick, heavy hardbound book -- I couldn't put it down! And it was worth every ounce. I wished I'd read it when my daughter was tiny and colicky, as the sections on newborns' unfinished nervous systems would have been invaluable. I was also fascinated by the calm and factual discussion of the nature vs. nurture debate. I recommend this to all new parents (along with "Sign with Your Baby" by Joseph Garcia).
