Infants Books

My 2 1/2-year-old absolutely loves this book. It is very fun and easy to memorize so he recites it along with me while I read it. Your child will love it!

This is a fun read aloud book for little ones (and big ones too). They really enjoy repeating, "Books are for eating". It takes no time at all for them to know when to say it.

A baby is born with a beard, and the story of his infancy from his eyes is in "Born with a Beard". Author Ted Ringer takes a look at families from the infant's perspective and in the process generates brilliant satire with his excellently compiled prose. Although not a picturebook, the illustrations of George Peters add a certain unmeasurable charm. The story is strong without them, but improved by their presence nonetheless. "Born with a Beard" is highly recommended for anyone looking for some light reading from a unique perspective, and for community library fiction collections.

It has humor, warmth, and a dash of wisdom. You root for everyone: Mom, Dad, Sister -- not just the Bearded Babe. It makes you think of your own childhood with a smile and a question. Could it have been like that? It is the perfect size; it fits right in your hand.

I'm studying for my IBCLC certification and this is providing with me with great info.

I love this book. It's well organized and easy to read even though some info is quite technical. I'm taking the IBCLC exam soon and out of several books I'm using for review, this is my favorite.

I liked this book and give it out to family and friends who are expecting. It is short, easy to read and to-the-point. Accurate information. Thanks, LLLI!

This book is so great! It is a short, easy to read guide to breastfeeding your baby. The title tells it all, "Breastfeeding: Pure & Simple"! Great book for first time nursing mothers. Highly recommended!

I purchased this book to increase my knowledge base and have found it to be an excellent source of information. This is great for new as well as experienced nurses who work with breastfeeding clients.

As a training Lactation Cunsultant in a local hospital in Israel, I have been working with breastfeeding women for over two years. Often, differences in opinion between the Nursing Staff and Lactation Consultants surface. I found this book to help promote one uniformed goal; the breastfeeding mother. With all of Ms Biancuzzo's up-to-date research and information, and with the book's easy to read format, this book is a welcomed addition to my library.

I absolutely loved this planner. It was perfect for every day life, and fit into my bag very well. It's definately the best in the way of planners. I just wish I could find the one for '99!

I had never heard of Anne Geddes before. My sister was nice enough to send me a 1999 Calendar of babes. Every one in the office, including my self loves her work. Some had even thought about collecting. One concern. We would had like to see more babes of color (different nationalities). But all of the babies are so beautiful, you can't help but appreciate this ART. (Just a suggestion)

I took a class on assessment methods and of all reviewed, the Carolina proved to be one of the best. However, people need to be aware that it is NOT a formal assessment tool and should be used as a guide. The great thing about the Carolina is that it is very user friendly, making it a great tool for parents to use with ease.

This book, or should I say this manual, is really important and helpful. I am a Ph.D student and I know exactly what it does mean to have a manual like this in schools. The manual gives you a chance to evaluate your students with special needs. Additionally, the manual follows the new trends in assessment and evaluation process through linking the assessment results with educational or intervention purposes. By using the Assessment Log and the Developmental Progress Chart, you, as a teacher, can link the ongoing assessment information with the IEP information for your students.
This manual will help you understand the developmental level and deviance for your students, as well as how to plan for age appropriate and functional interventions.
Thanks Amazon for the wonderful book.

great for students and general surgery residents to lear pediatric surgery from a case based approach.

If you'd like a quick, easy reading book to review before taking pediatric surgery written or oral boards, Larry Moss has just the book for you. Concise, authoritative, well written, and at times dryly humorous... thanks to Baird's contributions! A must have.

Though I live on the Westside of Los Angeles I often go to the San Fernando Valley and while there pick up a copy of The Warner Center News. I once noticed an ariticle by a Childcare director named Bette Simons that caught my attention. Being both a parent and now a grandparent the title hit my interest. It was called "Discoveries that come from living on the floor" The article so well described the dilemnas and delights that both parents and toddlers experience in this new setting of a childcare facility. I was motivated to seek out Ms Simons articles each time I went to the Valley. Only recently I discovered that articles pertaining to this age group are now published (as of l997). I doubt there is an parent that has not experienced the joys and frustrations of a child's development. I highly prompt parents to grab up a copy. When starting this review I noticed that Ms Simons has 2 other books in print. Good news and I will buy them ASAP.

Busy parents will find this humorous and easy to read book very helpful. It handles with a "down to earth and get to the point" approach real and everyday challenges which face all families. Separation anxiety, temper tantrums, troubling but common behavior are just some of the issues addressed in a wise and pratical way. This is definitely recommended reading for any parent.

In this book the chapter about twins really stands out and has more to say in five short pages than most other literature on the subject. The difference is that where others see twins more or less as freaks of nature on whom one can test ones ideas about the nature-nurture-issue, Winnicott sees them as individual persons. Where others stress the obvious fact of their similarity, Winnicott stresses that twins are two different persons right from the outset and that being a twin has its advantages, but also its drawbacks for the necessary task of developing ones own personality. he observes that while most twins get along well enough, they often did not manage to distance themselves enough to really love each other. This is a thought-provoking piece.

Winnicott is so right on with his observations, and in this book his thoughts are accessible to anyone who is interested in learning about how children experience the world and grow into being a part of it. His tone is so compassionate that one just knows he must have been a wonderful therapist - and person. His ideas are easy to follow and he writes as if he is speaking to you, as a friend and a wise person.
