FIRST NINE MONTHS OF LIFE

Summary: A photo of your baby...
Review: I had this book when I was pregnant with my youngest son. I flat wore that book out! It was my constant companion, and I remember sitting there looking at those pictures and imagining my own baby at that stage. It was like a prenatal photgraph album of my baby. I recommend this book to every pregnant woman, whether it's your first baby or your fifteenth. Hand it on to your daughters, and when it wears out, replace it. Beautiful.

Summary: Fascinating
Review: I've read several books pertaining to early development and this one really stands out. The chronicle of human development is illustrated with astonishing clarity.

Summary: A bit disappointed
Review: While there were some nice pictures and helpful information I was abit disappointed with the book in general. It was short (92 pages of large text),with no color pictures and just didn't seem like that helpful of a book for a first time mother. The book was first published in 1962 with an update in 1982 and I'm sure there have been quite a few new discoveries that would be quite informative for a first time mother since then. I felt like I was reading a high school biology book. OK for what it was but I'd not recommend it.
