We go to playgroups, My Gym, Mommy and Me and this book gave us plenty of new ideas of little activites that make our day so much more interesting. It's a big hit with Daddy too since he is often at a loss for what to play with a six month old.

Great book for when you need a push in the right direction for things to do with your growing and developing baby!


You don't need a book to tell you this stuff   April 8, 2003

The book is colorful, has nice pictures and descriptions, but most of the activities in this book are things you would probably do with your child anyway. You're better off spending the money on a CD or toy, or admission to the zoo.

I purchased this book hoping it would have good ideas on things to do with my 9-month-old. However, it really adds nothing new at all. Most of the so-called "age-appropriate activities" are common-sense things I do with my baby anyway. For example, the first activity for a newborn is "rock and sing your baby a lullaby". Well, duh! How many of us need a book to tell us THAT? For older babies, suggestions include playing ball or peek-a-boo (gee, now isn't that original!), purchasing a stacking toy, rolling a ball, or reading a book. Virtually all of these suggestions can be found in any general book about babies, e.g., Dr. Sears' Baby Book.
This book also contains lyrics to several children's songs but does not contain the melody - so they're worthless if you don't already know the song. You're much better off purchasing a book-CD set instead, e.g., "Wee Sing for Baby" is AWESOME!
Skip this one- save your money and spend it on a good children's book or CD instead.

Beautiful book, would make a nice gift. However, chances are if you have a kid, you're already doing a lot of this stuff.
