Summary: Let's Have some Fun!!
Review: Here we have a book for the new parent(s), with a collection of games and activities to keep pace with your baby's changing abilities during the first year of life. The author provides a guide to play that will ultimately capture and hold (she says so) your baby's attention. There are traditional and contemporary suggestions suited to tailor-make your changing infant with helpful developmental information in 3 month increments, so you can track those milestones for the memory books.There are games like bed bouncing (our girls' favorite) to playback, to puppet play and rattles. Then as you move on to airplane baby, clap hands, fancy feet, roll over, peek-a-boo, and all the other neat stuff, plus some really cute words to sleep by and lullabies, and others. A wealth of information for all of us. This author is the best!!!

Summary: A great gift to give or receive!
Review: I have received so many wonderful words from new parents who have enjoyed this book. It has been very satisfying as a writer to have put together a book that is helpful, fun, easy-to-use and benefits the parent-child bond. Enjoy those babies, because it's true--that first year disappears sooner that you believe possible.

Summary: Informative, but not colorful enough
Review: It's a good little book that can definitely help people who had no prior experience in baby handling. As a first time parent, I really appreciate the help! Vicky Lansky offers a book that is organized by appropriateness for each quarter of baby's first year, and includes wide variety of play activities. Each sector of the book (0-3 mo., 3-6 mo., etc.) is preceded by the summary of developmental milestones. However, in comparison to Baby Play (Gymboree) by Wendy S., Dr. Masi, Roni Cohen, Dr. Leiderman, this book lacks pictorial support. I have encountered a couple of activities that are not easy to follow just by reading the instructions. A simple picture or a photograph would eliminate this problem.

Summary: Games we'd play anyway and some NEVER
Review: So I'm flipping through the book and thinking "Did I actually pay money for this?". So many of the activities were things that I (and many other parents) are already doing with our babies. Like playing with rattles, talking to your baby while looking in the mirror, kicking at toys, pointing to objects and saying the sounds they make, peek-a-boo, waving bye-bye... you get the idea. But the moment I knew I wanted to get my refund was when in the 0-3 months section, the author suggested going to the hardware store to buy a blank set of keys to put on a strong ring to "make great noise and be cool teethers". The thought of my infant's delicate gums knawing away at the sharp edges of metal keys--YIKES!!

Summary: Great book for new parents
Review: This book has loads of games that parents can use to play with their newborns. Some games are for use during certain practical activities such as a song you can sing while bathing your baby, and pointing out the different parts of the body. There are also games for simply passing the time. Parents usually have time to spend with their young ones and it might as well be entertaining for all! I buy this book for every expecting parent I know!
