Infants Books

I'm not one for reviews but this had to be said. This author is both witty and instightful. What a colorful and honest way to describe raising a family! I was impressed with the descriptions and faith this author brings to the pages. I could feel the cheerios bouncing off my face as I was reading!

I would recommend this to anyone who is either planning a family or has a few spilling juice in the house today.

Even though I have been around many babies I gained a lot from reading this book. It was great how my husband (who has zero experience with babies) and I both learned things from the author's easy to read style of writing. I recommend getting a copy of this book for yourself as well as one for anyone you know who is pregnant or who just had a baby because if you lend it out you won't be getting it back!

This outstanding book for parents and caregivers of two year olds is the third in a series. It offers activities that promote total child development, including physical, mental, and the creative aspects of learning. The organization into easily located categories makes it easy to quickly locate an appropriate activity. As a grandparent-caregiver who used the books for Baby and One-year olds, I am pleased to find that the activities are just as well thought-out and age appropriate in this book as in the other two. The instructions are very clear and there are enough activities that even if only half of them were tried you would never run out of interesting things to do.

If you are in early intervention and are not already familiar with ABI (Activity Based Intervention), this book is absolutely necessary for you and your program. A mom and an interventionist, I have seen the best and worst of intervention approaches -- the approach laid out here is logical, complete, and responds to potential problems. Any program can be adapted to include activity based intervention, and anyone entering the field should be familiar with these pretexts. I highly recommend this book.

Bobby Bear has just woke up from his long winters nap and is looking for Honey, but finds a bunch of friends first. Olly the Owl, Freddy Fox, Ricky Raccoon,Curly Quail, all join the adventure. My son loves this book. The story is fun and the book is beautifully illustrated. Do they find the honey that Bobby Bear is looking for? Buy the Book and find out!

This curriculum guide is excellent especially for first year special educators who are required to write family-friendly IFSP/IEP goals. It lays out goals for children, the previous skills they have to acquire to meet those goals, skills that will come next, concurrent skills, as well as how to set up your classroom to elicit the goals. WONDERFUL WONDERFUL! I would not recommend the companion measurement however because it is VERY time-consuming.

I am a certified Alexander Technique teacher, and I specialize in prenatal care. This book is THE BEST. Ilana Machover has taught birthing classes with an Alexander Technique focus in the UK for many years. The book is divided by stage of pregnancy and stages of labor. There are detailed descriptions (and beautiful photos and drawings) of how to work with yourself in each stage. Plus all kinds of great factual information about childbirth. It's easiest to learn Alexander Technique with a teacher's assistance. This book is an excellent resource along the way. I recommend it to all my prenatal students.

I received an advance copy of the book and was excited to purchase a few more copies. This book is a fantastic resource for anyone engaged in social policy issues related to young children. A must own publication.

What no new parent needs is more work. This book seeks to make the reading enjoyable as it conveys key ideas about how both moms and dads can take care of themselves and each other while nurturing their newest family member. It offers a useful model for understanding infant development.

Once again, Anne Geddes has done it again. I love her photographs, she truly is an amazing artist. If you love having an Anne Geddes calendar on your wall all year like I do, you'll especially love this one. Happy 2005!
