an all around waste of time and money
boring, long, seemingly pointless text book. the first few chapters our more about when the child is inside the mother and what could happen. Not at all useful to how a child might developed once born. I'd say if you don't HAVE to buy it, don't. But my seller was great, I just wish I didn't have to buy it for school, it's not a good text book for INFANTS, CHILDREN and ADOLESCENTS.

Book was exactly what I needed for my Early Chilhood class.
This textbook is for my Child Development college class. I bought the international edition because it was A LOT cheaper than the US version. It's word for word, the same as the US version so well worth the purchase.
