Summary: Great for first time parents
Review: Considering the content of this book, it is really not worth the fifteen dollars listed on the cover. It consists of games and activities that are basically traditional; the sorts of things that most mothers do with their babies. Five to ten dollars at most would have been a much more reasonable price.

However, it is not a bad book at all. Contrary to what the previous reviewers said, parents will not automatically know all of these games. Granted, I would definitely have done some of the things mentioned in the book with my child anyway (for example, holding the baby and making faces), but many of the other games may expand the parent's "bag of tricks" or inspire new ideas in them, and there's nothing wrong with that!

The best thing about the book is that it emphasizes the importance of human affection and interaction in promoting brain development, rather than expensive toys or gadgets. So go ahead and purchase it if you find it on sale, or take it out of the library. Just getting a few good games or tips will make it worth your time.

Summary: Useful book of neat baby games
Review: I have 125 Brain Games for Babies and love it. It has many little games that I knew but had forgotten about; but it has many more that I never would have come up with. It does a good job of simply explaining the specifics of brain development and it�s importance in the first months of a child�s life. This is a good, handy basic book for a new parent.

Summary: Easy, structured play with your baby
Review: I thought this book was a nice way to do simple activities that stimulated various senses with my baby. I also worked part-time and I gave it to my nanny when I was away to give her ideas of things to do, which she really enjoyed. I liked the specific reasearch linked with each activity to help me understand why a particular activity was helpful. While some of the activities were things I was doing, many were new and I just liked having an easy reference to grab when I wanted to do something I might not have thought about. I also think it's a nice gift for a new Mom.

Summary: A Useless Book
Review: I will be returning this book. It has nothing in here that I already don't do with my son. Singing, peek-a-boo, looking in mirrors should all be activities that every parent knows how to do with their child. The book only demonstrates these common activities which stimulate a child growth. And doesn't everyone know how to play peek-a-boo with a baby? Do you really need a book for that?

Summary: 125 Brain Games for Baby
Review: This is a great book. It has many easy educational activities for newborns. I haven't found any other book of this type that is for the 0 to 6 month crowd.
