In standard "Idiot's Guide" fashion, this one follows the chapter-by-chapter format of
- summarizing a basic topic
- sparsely outlining some details
- re-summarizing the topic
and then flooding the remaining pages with far too many examples to fully remember, so you'll have to keep it on your shelf for future reference if you hope to make the most of this collection. Also, they play pretty loose with the definition of game and are generously including things like the "Making Mouth Noises Game" and the "Label Body Parts with Baby Game" or the "Sing What You're Doing Game". These activities are labeled with recommended ages (3+ months, 6+ months, 9-12 months, etc) and parents should be aware that there are very few "from birth" suggestions, so this isn't a title you need to check out immediately.
2.5 stars out of 5. Adequate information, wholly average in presentation.
