SYNOPSIS

Your Baby Can Read! is the first video series in the world designed to help babies, toddlers, and preschoolers learn to read! Young children can learn language at an extraordinary rate.

In fact, learning to read (just like learning second languages) may actually be easier for children under age five than it is for older children. The Your Baby Can Read! Videos teach reading during the window of opportunity for learning language.

BaiBoo’s comment

‘When and What To Feed My Baby’ is a practical recipe book for moms in Malaysia. It’s best feature is the language, since it’s bilingual and the English is easy to understand. The book provides you with the knowledge of which nutrients your child needs, and what sources you can get them from.
The recipes are easy to prepare; the average preparation time is 10-15 minutes. All recipes in the book have been tested, so there’s a great chance your child will love them too. Most recipes provide an indication on when your baby may be willing to try it. We expect that especially first time mothers will find the recipes useful.

Complete baby & childcare does honor it’s name, it is a very complete book with a lot of valuable information. Everything you need to know about your child, from birth up to 5 years of age, is in the book. It contains lots of photo’s to clearify what’s written and the colors used make it a suitable parenting book.
The way to navigate through the book is by color, they show which chapter belongs to which stage of the babie’s life. The register in the back can also be used to find what you are looking for. This book is more of an encyclopedia for parenting than a reading book for young parents, the information in it is very practical and accurate.

• Every chapter ends with practical tips and tricks.
• Checklists for your baby’s progress, for each stage of age and development.
• Baby Safe at the end of the book is very handy; the local nursery rhymes are nice.

BaiBoo’s comment

Asian Parenting Today is an excellent book for new moms and dads. The book provides you with information stage by stage, which makes it easier to understand what’s happening. The contents in the book are a good guideline to find what you’re looking for and the FAQ’s on each topic are the ones you were just going to wonder about yourself.
Though, the book only covers the first year of your parenthood and it is very much about the baby and not so much about the parents. This makes it very. For information about the mother or parent side of it you will need to look elsewhere. It’s not a story-telling book, but clearly a very practical guide with plenty of facts and figures. It will tell you everything you want to know in the first months of parenthood. We feel it’s a must-have as a reference guide with straightforward insights and information.

BaiBoo’s comment

‘Is My Pregnancy Normal?’ is a very practical and straightforward book, containing lots of questions and answers. The book is written by two obstetricians, which makes the information given very reliable and accurate. Reading the questions, and answers to it, makes it all very easy to understand. Not only do the authors explain what is happening during pregnancy. At least as important is that they go into the ‘why’ and ‘how’. To clarify even further, illustrations have been added. The book provides a good insight in in what to expect in this exciting and sometimes unpredictable journey. It’s a great source of information, especially for first time moms.
