Books for the lay person on child development

[Carmel Houston-Price]

I enjoyed another of Lise Eliot's books:
"What's going on in there?  How the brain and mind develop in the first
five years of life" (1999).
New York: Bantam.

Although obviously aimed at interested parents, there was plenty in
there that was new for me too.
