Summary: That paper cover ain't getting harder, ya know!
Review: A five-star follow-up to "Crying Baby!" The 365 Tips saga continues as Dr. Julian, now conscripted into the ranks of the soldiers of Titan, devises plan after devious plan to trip up the evil Toddler. I can't wait to see how it all turns out in "365 Ways to Stifle Your Teen's Individuality and Keep Him Tied to Those Apron Strings!"

Summary: Other Considerations
Review: As background material for this book, the reader is referred to "The Scientist in the Crib" (Dr. Gopnik, et al; Perrenial, 2001). It offers a fresh and detailed evaluation of the language acquisition process by infants. At about 6 months of age, a critical change seems to occur. The specific pronunciation patterns of the language(s) heard begin to be retained in a very focused manner. Also see "The Monday Tape" (The Snow Water Corporation) at Akilo.com for more insight into this process. This audio tape, one of a series, provides multilingual speech patterns for infants. These tapes are available exclusively through Amazon.com (not available in stores). It appears that they should help an infant (birth to age 2) gain good pronunciation skills for many widely used languages.

Summary: Quick, Enjoyable Read
Review: This is definitely not a know all, do all guide to babies but it definitely is very handy. There are tips in here on everything from diapering to soothing to taking baby out. These quick tips were a perfect read for those short trips I had to take on the bus while I was pregnant. It was also a book my husband didn't mind reading. Most of the 'guides' I have are huge and you could easily overload on information. This one is perfect to add to your own common sense. A handy, lil book I'm sure you'll enjoy.

Summary: This Book of tips is a must for new parents
Review: We loved this book and read it cover to cover in the beginning and reverted to it over and over again for its insightful tips that first year. Dr. Orenstein's book contains tips that are not contained in other leading first-year baby treatises. We recommend it highly. We are now well on our way trough the Toddler version and think it is exceptional as well.
