      It’s written for a specific group of people, well-off two-parent American home-owning families me thinks, but there are some fun activities and craft ideas in there.
    • 1/5
      I thought this book was going to be perfect for me, because I’m all about kids being amused by household things and using their imaginations as much as possible. Instead, the vast majority of the text was a little preachy, saying you shouldn’t let your baby sit in a car seat, swing, or bouncy seat too often. I completely agree with that, but less than 30 minutes a day? I’m a stay at home mom, and even doing that, I’d NEVER be able to manage life if I could only let my babe sit down for 30 minutes a day. I think this book was written for an ideal world where you have nothing else to do but tend to your child. It’s not realistic to be able to do all of this with your baby even if you stay at home, much less if you work! If it seemed less preachy and more realistic, I would have liked it more.
