How Babies Talk: The Magic and Mystery of Language in the First Three Years of Life

I found this book very informative but it's not the sort of literature I would read long passages out of. It tends to get a bit boring.

I found this such an easy read. Really interesting and inspiring. If you're interested in child development from a professional or, like me, as a parent you just can't go wrong. Lots of exercises to try. There is lots of information here presented in a straight forward flow that has lots of scientific reference without feeling like a text book. So well written I didn't feel like I was learning but I was always able to share bits of it with interested friends the next day so it did stick. Simply a great read.

An easy to read book filled with the latest research. I was amazed at what the authors can find out about infant language learning. This book should be in every parent's library.

I couln't put it down. This is the first book that allowed me to appreciate my child in a new way. In clear direct language, these authors bring the latest research into our living room. Babies are so much smarter than we ever imagined. Dotted with activitiesthat you can do with your child, this book is a must have for every parent and professional who works with children.
