Summary: Info is timeless, not dated-- Good for new parents
Comment: I think this is a good book for new parents who want to learn more about how to interact with their new baby. As a first-time mom, I appreciated reviewing the activities in the book and using them as opportunities to spend quality/learning time with my baby. I only skimmed the text of the book to get to the activities the first time I read it; reading the actual text of the book only increases its value, as there are lots of good tips on how to make your baby comfortable from birth on-- Acclimating him to his new home, being aware of his needs, etc.
My baby loves the mobiles and stimulating images that I made for him from the book-- Made with paper plates, copy paper, black and red pens, they're simple, inexpensive, and effective. There are a couple exercises out of the dozens in the book that refer to stimulating baby's sense of smell with perfume-- But that shouldn't condemn the book as a whole. Any parent who objects to subjecting his/her baby to perfume doesn't need to do the exercise. There are other smell games that involve smelling an orange, various spices, your dinner-- Clearly less ostensibly harmful than smelling perfume. The activities are "mix and match" so you don't have to have your baby smell perfume.
The book is so inexpensive, yet filled with good information. It doesn't matter that the book is old-- The information in it is really timeless. This can't be compared to the "Baby Plus" system, which from what I've read, doesn't really factor in the value of a parent spending quality, interactive time with her child. This book is about helping your baby experience the world, not snap more synapses.
If you want to learn about how you can spend more quality time with your baby and help him learn new things by experiencing things around him, get this book. Just because the book was written in the 1980s doesn't mean the information is outdated. Are the laws of gravity outdated? I did give it 4, not 5 stars because some of the information on resources/ purchasing toys is outdated (the oft-mentioned "Cookie Monster Crawl-Along" infant skateboard does not exist), but this is a minor flaw compared to the other values stored up in this book.

Summary: Extremely Dangerous Nutritional Advice
Comment: In general, I enjoy reading the book although I find some of the tips were dated and extremely dangerous. For example, the Berman's Protein Shake contains a raw egg that can be dangerous to the baby since it may contain salmonella bacteria. Since we all know that all babies are extremely sensitive to fragrance--a petrochemical additive, and other additives are processed foods, I don't believe it is a good idea to put perfume on the baby toy. Read this book with caution!!!

Summary: Excellent Book - Where to buy the toys?
Comment: Hi, I have made a few toys for our baby based on the recommendations, but would also like to buy the professionally made toys. Since this book is kinda old, I am not sure if the company still exists at the location, and what are the charges for the toys. Was anyone successful in buying these toys? Where are they available?
