Recensione:

'Dr Spock revolutionised the ways we think about and care for children. He gave us the ok to love and cuddle them, to be spontaneous and trust our gut feeling about what is right for each individual... He brought a breath of fresh air and let us relax and enjoy our children. Wherever his books were read, he liberated parents'
Sheila Kitzinger
'Still makes a lot of sense to parents looking for answers to all the important questions. Its regular republication is a testimony to Dr Spock's influence' DAILY EXPRESS
‘You can’t really argue with a book that has sold 50 million copies . . . This is the telephone directory for family life and an essential for every new parent’s shopping list . . .This reworking is a fascinating treasure trove for anyone who is interested in raising children “by the book”. Nothing is missing: from the pros and cons of disposable nappies and breast versus bottle to planning for university and preventing dog bites, it is a must-have for the paranoid parent.’
Viv Groskop, SUNDAY EXPRESS
'A thorough and accessible guide to parenting, and is confidently and boldly written, providing a secure framework for parents to work in' JUNIOR
