Reviews"The brains of young children are sponges, ready to soak up whatever you put in them. Author Jackie Silberg...has a new book to help you make sure that what you put in those brains, from the very beginning, is first-rate stuff." - Star Magazine, "...The brain development by monthly age is invaluable since growth of the brain and motor skills are so rapid in infants and toddlers. Also there are few books available on this subject, let alone one that is so clearly and well-presented." - Cynthia Ridolf, Central Brevard Public Library, "125 Brain Games for Toddlers and Twos is a very insightful and useful book. It is very practical and informative in nature. I especially like the brain research blurbs. It is a great resource for understanding cognitive development." -Dr. Clara Carroll, Director of Professional Field Services, Harding University
