I bought this for the full $15 price, but even at $10, it's not worth it. It just gives you various song/rhymes to sing to your kids, a few little games, but nothing new or truly original.

cute book, well done, good information, but the activities aren't always stuff that people will actually do, just ok in that department.

This book really comes in handy when you are in between activities. It fills in small amounts of time really well. I just wish I had bought it sooner!

In the entire book, there were about 7 pages that had ideas I would use. Most of the suggestions are uber easy things we already do each day.

I have another book by this author "Games to play with babies." If I'd paid attention to the author, I probably wouldn't have purchased this book. Most of the activities or "games" are things you probably already do with your little one...like describe every day activities, name body parts, make up songs about daily activities, etc. The one positive thing about the book is that it gives you little tidbits of information about how the child's brain develops.

The book has many simple ideas/games to do. It is helpful for some quick positive interaction with your young child.
The used book looked new. I was happy with it.

This book, written for parents of children ages 12 months to 36 months is packed with fun, simple, creative, and educational games to enhance and promote your child's brain development at this monumental time. Author, Jackie Silberg does a superb job of offering parents an interactive approach to helping their child activate synapses in the child's brain. After reading this book, you'll be pleased to see that as a parent you and your child are probably already willing participants playing many of these games and activities, but after reading the crucial brain research that backs up the importance of these games, you will feel even better. Ms. Silberg provides facts and evidence that clearly indicate spending time with your child at this very young age nurturing, playing, learning, and bonding together will lay the groundwork for a lifetime of learning and positive experiences.

Readers can easily flip through this step by step manual to sections of brain based learning games targeted to the child's age range and development. Since a child's brain development is explosive at this tender age, parents and caregivers must do all they can to foster a love of learning. These activities will stimulate your child's brain development by creating important neural connections for future learning, develop thinking abilities, language skills, fine and gross motor skills, and problem solving abilities. During this amazing brain growth, your child will be learning, creating, experiencing, and the two of you will be growing closer together. Utilizing the five senses, you are sure to find new and exciting mind games to delight and entertain you and your little one. My child and I have had tons of fun and giggles playing these games and you can adapt them anyway you wish. This book would be a great gift for a parent or caregiver.

Very redundant...any normal parent would already do these things. Not worth the money. =(
