Infants and Children book

I recieved it very quickly and was able to communicate with the person selling me the book.

Educational

This book is really good for anyone pursuing a career in child psychology. I took a child psychology class in college and this book helped me ace all my exams. The sixth edition is the latest edition as of (2008) with a little extra information added and some old information corrected.

fascinating

I loved this textbook. I read it for an Infant & Child Development class and found it interesting, clear and helpful. Anyone interested in childhood development should definitely read this book!

A Diamond Second Bester...But By A Micro Eyelash

From my experience, no other book--at this time--can upend Gonzalez-Mena's INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND CAREGIVERS. In it's seventh edition, it stands as the most near perfect infant/toddler textbook ever created. Now...Berk's book is probably the best "second-best" textbook that I have found. She goes from history/theory to basic foundations to each era of children from birth to Age 11. The book is filled with color pictures and color charts along with plenty of special interest sidebar accounts on subjects like the negative side of extended infant child care. So why is it the second best? It just doesn't cover infants and toddlers exclusively. Instead, it exists as a superbly written book on early childhood growth and development...which isn't such a bad thing. Check it out if you either can't get Gonzalez-Mena's book or if you just want a second opinion on infant/toddler concepts.
