Infants Books

Our copy of "Peakaboo!" is tattered, torn & taped from many fun-filled readings of this great little book. There is something about it that was magical to our three children. I find myself buying it, as a baby gift, over and over.

My son absolutely loved this book. It is well-worn from reading it over and over and over. I just brought it out for our second son as he has become interested in reading and he brought it to me numerous times today. There is something extremely appealing about this book to young toddlers- a favorite for our sons!

I have tried out this book in a local nursery school and found that it was just as exciting to the children as Jonathan Lycett-Smith's previous publication 'Kitten Kid Were are You?'. This was also a Walker Book Publication obtainable at the Early Learning Centre. The children loved the little monster and joined in with all the face pulling, ending up with big smiles that knocked us all flat in an ectasy of laughing. What a joy to have a well illustrated book that all the children could relate to in a joyful manner.

In Judy Hindley's delightful picturebook story for very young readers, The Perfect Little Monster, Baby Monsters seems perfect to his parents. He has horrible little eyes and a horrible little nose. he loves to scowl and how and make a terrible mess. But when Baby Monster's whole family gathers for his first birthday party, he reveals he's not quite as perfect as his parent's think! Jonathan Lycett-Smith's colorful, whimsical artwork is perfectly suited to Hindley's fanciful story.

The author of this book intended it for the convenience of teachers and recreational leaders who cannot read music and therefore cannot learn hitherto unfamiliar songs from musical notation.

However, it has other uses too. For instance, it is good for a music teacher with a beginning student. In this book, there are 15 songs to the tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb. If the student's friends and relatives sing those 15 songs while the student accompanies, the student will get plenty of practice and have fun at the same time. Other familiar tunes appear with comparable frequency.

The book is also good for teachers of English as a second language. Most of the songs are repetitious pattern songs which the students could easily learn.

0911019073, 0911019022, and 0911019014 have all been very helpful to me both as a music teacher and as an ESL teacher.

Incidentally, Barney Dinosaur's closing song is taken from page 18 of this book.

Karen's fun and insightful approach to this sometimes stressful topic is a breath of fresh air! Karen brings many practical ideas to help achieve mastery over this crucial skill with the minimum of hoopla. She clearly has given the topic a lot of thought, and you'll find her techniques both amusing and effective!

This book is amazing! My 2 year old daughter started showing signs that she was ready to sit on the toilet...I was trying to potty train her and was getting very frustrated with the constant accidents. After reading this book and following Karen's advice, my daughter was fully trained within 2 weeks and she hasn't had an accident since. By making a game out of it and making it fun, it became much less stressful which in turn made her successful. I don't know what I would have done without this book!

Poppy's Babies is one of my very favorite of the Brambly Hedge series.

It is delightful for little children, who will remember Poppy's wedding in the series, to now see the home filled with little babies.

It is also the story of a sweet gift from Poppy's husband and friends.

I can't recommend it highly enough.

All Brambly Hedge books are treasures worth pursuing. The luminous illustrations and warm, gentle tales of life in the mouse community at Brambly Hedge will bring joy to all ages. In this book, the neighbors' response to the needs of a new mother is guaranteed to fill your heart. A tale of thoughtful and kind action set within the glow of Springtime at Brambly Hedge.

You always see books for new parents, but I was pleased to find one specifically for parents of premies. This book provided me with useful information and tips. Everyone expects the birth of a baby to be so thrilling--but when you spend the first months visiting your child in the hospital, that takes away from the excitement. This book helped me to realise that, although the circumstances are different, raising my child can still be a wonderful experience. It helped me to know what's in store and how to handle everything. I recommend this book for new parents of premature babies. Thanks!

A great addition for NICU follow up care, step by step, reasearch/evidence is up to date.

An excellent comprehensive book. A must for pediatricians caring for premature infants. The nutrition and growth and development sections are especially invaluable!

useless for me. Nice door stop. Very molecular as well. For libraries and onc people. not for general pedi residents. Could impress on rounds if you read this, but then you're just showing off. Best book for pedi residents in heme onc is the secret's book or the mattel children's pocket book.

This is the text to own if you want an overview of pediatric oncology. Thorough, in-depth, practical, with basic science issues covered. Written by (most of) the leaders in the field. A must own for anyone who sees children with cancer.

This book is the crème de la crème of baby shower books! An invaluable, explosive resource for planning a cultural baby shower. Author Tonya D.

I utilized this book, for a Couple's Shower. I had the parents-to-be, act as the judges for all events, this kept them in the center of all the action! Icebreakers: "Soul" Baby Foods(tough)and "Baby" Foods. Actual Games: Def Poetry Nursery Rhymes, and A Lullaby With Soul. I did adapt another game from 2 ideas in the book, "Hey Brotha's" (relay game). Some games you can make teams (gets more people involved - peer pressure to participate).

I was prepared to execute several cultural ideas provided, the committee thought they were not appropriate for "our couple" (always remember - 1) customized ideas 2) have flexability; and 3) have additional activities prepared).

Put Soul in your Baby Shower, was well worth my investment!! I obtained more executable ideas (guest were out of their seats and participating), than BlackBerry Soul Celebrations (more paper games).

Prizes should be practical-unisex (le:gift certificates). Happy Planning!

Dr Spindola- Franco did a wonderful job with this book. It is well written and well illustrated. It is a bible in the field. It is almost like working side by side with the author.

The book is well written and well illustrated.It is a virtual bible in the field. It's like having Dr. Spindola working right next to you.
