This was a book for my Child psych class. I wasn't impressed with the info in it or lack of info.
Most research wasn't diverse and it felt like reading a really long boring essay of common sense findings.
I wish there was more to it.
Overall, it was okay.

This book had a lot of information in it. It covered some topics well and others not so much. It is a good guide, but does not provide much detail on some things. The charts and pictures are very helpful. It's a very expensive book and I feel like I could have got the same information from other books that are a lot cheaper.

As a reference guide it's great because it covers a little bit of everything, I particularly enjoyed their brief chapter synopsis, they basically cover the important themes of the chapter.Pro-tip for students, who can't read it all.

A must have book in all schools and homes
The kind of books that I call "child manual" tells how the child function.
