Very specific, maybe too much - By: Cathy, 31 Jan 2008 
The book gives useful guidelines for people iniciating work with young children (for example, working on early childhood intervention). It focuses important steps of development, but it's not analytical enough for people who want to study child development deeper.
Still... it's well organised, adequate for different professionals, & a good starting point.
Exceptional - By: , 16 Apr 2004 
Sherdian's offering is a brilliant book & can act as a guide for childcare students & professionals. It covers the various stages of development from birth to five & also takes children with disabilities into account towards the end of the book.
I have used her book as a nursery nurse student & when at university part of my course & will still continue to use her book.
A must read/buy for everyone. You will not need another book.
Birth to five years - By: , 28 Aug 2003 This book is good guide to refer to & revise age appropriate behaviour. I found it usefull but not enough on its own.
an esy to read informative book - By: ryananlisa@francis69.fsworld.co.uk, 27 Apr 2002 This book is a must have if you need childrens milestones upto the age of five, an excellent book for parents & people studying childcarein any form. Its set out really clearly & is very informative.
A good book for child carers. - By: , 11 Mar 2000 
I first read this book whilst doing my NNEB at college. As a nursery nurse this book was invaluable to help with assessing child development, but now as a mother I feel it would probably worry me as if my son didn't reach the goal by the date set by Mary Sheridan, you start worrying! Overall, although informative, I feel this is a book for professional child-carers more than parents.
