really liked it

I only read up to age four, but I will finish it as my kids get older. I want to own this book because it simple and clear. It was different than I thought it would be in that it doesn't talk a lot about specific games to play. I thought it was just a book about games to play with your kids, but it is an explanation of how your kids learn and develop through each age. The secret is that kids brains grow best when they have a lot of opportunity to explore and play.
