A Child's Eye View of the World

Front inside dust jacket: "A Child's Eye View of the World might well be called a painless guide to child-rearing. It originated with the Boston Children's Medical Center as part of its unique program of 'Publications for Parents.'Parents who want to understand their baby must try to see the world from the baby's point of view. Marc Simont's colorful line drawings show the world as a baby sees it: full of huge, looming creatures, some who merely peer at you and cluck (relatives); one in particular who appears with food and other comforts every time you cry (mother); and another who appears if you keep on crying (father). How does a small child see other small children, a new baby, the toilet, a horse, for the first time? The pictures provide startling and often hilarious answers. The text gives concise insight into a baby's feelings and fantasies. Both will help parents understand and enjoy their own children."
