Customers say
Customers find the book very informational, answering many questions and providing a guideline for child development. Moreover, they appreciate it as a helpful guide for early childhood care and development, with one customer noting it’s used by pediatricians as a reference. Additionally, the book is easy to read and understand, with one customer mentioning they find themselves reading it weekly, and they consider it a great reference book. However, the organization receives mixed feedback, with some customers noting it’s organized thematically while others mention it’s not structured like the First Year edition.
