With her guidance, parents will step into the present with their baby and truly enjoy one another using her easy, guided activities. From a baby buddha massage to babble boost (singing nonsense words), small "bubble moments" throughout the day provide a shared experience between parent and child that benefits both.

This book is a must-have for new parents everywhere.

Exactly what it says on the tin, but not quite what I was expecting.
I thought it would be more "here are activities and such you can do with your baby." What it is is more of a philosophy of how you do daily tasks with your baby (e.g. changing their diaper) so that your time with baby is better spent. It suggests singing to make routine less rote and more fun, repeating sounds back to your baby, etc.
To sum up the premise in one sentence, it's a how-to book for quality time vs. quantity of time.
Definitely worth a read if you are new to the parent thing or are looking to improve your interactions with your baby
