5.0 out of 5 stars
easy and accessible,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Children (Paperback)
I thought this book was extremely easy to use and made information that is often dense and confusing very accessible. The unique format of the book provides quick bits of information without the technical jumble that often clutters other books on children and child development. I think this is a great gift for any expectant or new parent.

Understanding Children,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Children (Paperback)
A must have for new parents. The information and colorful pages are great for those late nights and early mornings. This book has been very helpful to both my husband and me especially since it is not wordy and the pages are informative with great illustrations.

5.0 out of 5 stars
An outstanding entertaining resource!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Understanding Children (Paperback)
As a mother of a five and seven year old, I didn't feel like I had to run and buy a ton of baby books when I got pregnant with my third. Because of all the running around I do on a daily basis, I find it difficult to take the time and read a book on children and child development. When I saw Understanding Children, I soon realized it was the perfect book for me. I can quickly find the information I am looking for without having to read paragraph after paragraph of jargon and irrelevant information. I consistently use it as a reference when I'm not sure about an issue or simply when looking to learn more about my kids.
