Review
"This book gives some great ideas on how to involve your toddler in activities to enhance brain development. I feel like it guided me to the appropriate activities for my 2 year-old son. It helps me to know what level he's at so that I can challenge him, and he's always so proud when he understands an activity and can play along." 2012 Moms Best Award Panel

Review
"I liked that it was simple to just pick up and use, and happily even my older children could use some of the ideas for interacting with their young siblings. Sometimes I'll find it hard to think of activities in the middle of a day, or I get stuck in a rut with activities, so it was nice to just leaf through and find something quickly that I could try with my toddler." 2012 Moms Best Award Panel
