Great book - but don't pay $75.00!.......2005-10-19
Go to Gryphhon House's website and find the new book they have for 3 year olds and get that one for $30.00 (or so). I got them both out of our library, and they are essentially the same, in fact the new book has more items. Good luck.

This book covers it ALL! Packed full of creative, open-ended and very developmentally appropriate activities for pre-school ages up to around 6 even! I love that the book covers ALL learning modes and challenges all learning styles. I chose this book for my 2 year old son but have found hundreds (yes, there are probably thousands!) of activities that would engage my first grade students. Buy this book for 2&3 year olds...but take good care of it because it will last through many year of imaginative play. Very well organized and with so many extension activities & ideas, the options are endless! A MUST HAVE!!

Oldie but goodie.......2005-04-28
The child I raised using this book is now expecting. I'd love to find an updated version of this book to give her. It was invaluable in saving unnecessary trips to the Dr. It is straight forward, easy to understand and has great symptom flow charts to follow to determime what's ailing your child. Worth its price in the peace of mind it can give. My only concern is that since it's so old, I'm not sure if any information in it may be considered incorrect today.(i.e. babies are now put to sleep on their backs/sides rather than their stomachs to prevent SIDS) Even so, it's worth having as a resource in your library.
Simply the BEST!!!.......2003-10-17
As a mother of 6 children, I bought a copy of this book 17 years ago, when my first child was a baby. Since I own a bookstore, I have access to quite a slew of books, and own several hundred health-related books for children - from herbal to homeopathic to allopathic medicine. This is by far the best - the one I turn to every time - and it always has the answer I'm looking for. Symptoms for illnesses & diseases that I've never heard of, and the most complete. I have been able to diagnose cases of scarlet fever in my children (confirmed by my unbelieving doctor), and other "odd" illnesses often left diagnosed. My doctors are always amazed that I know so much, and have even asked if I went to medical school. But no, I simply have this wonderful resource in my home library, and have read it often! I am here now, looking for a hardcover edition, since my 17 year old paperback is falling apart (literally)! I would recommend this book to every parent!
My favorite health book on kids!.......2003-01-01
This is the best health book on children I have come across. I wish there was a more recent one.
A great reference book for anyone raising kids!.......1999-07-14
A friend gave me this book when my first son was born. It has been through nineteen years and two children and has helped me evaluate various symptoms that resulted in everything from thrush to pityriasis rosea. Dr. Smith's book was also a great comfort in the middle of the night when one of my children would wake with symptoms I wasn't familiar with! This would make a GREAT gift for any soon-to-be mother. Any chance of talking the publisher into returning it to print?
Helps you make sure your doctor diagnosed properly.......1998-07-26
I find this book to be invaluable. I was given a copy by a friend after my child recovered from meningitis. This book would have led me to this illness very quickly; however, the doctors took three critical days to figure it out on their own. Since then I have been able to do my own research on my children's ailments to verify/refute the doctor's diagnosis. Obviously this is not a book to take the place of a doctor, but it can help you prepare your questions for the doctor. If I had said "could my child have meningitis . . ." the doctor would have reviewed the symptoms and possibly diagnosed properly this relatively uncommon disease at the time (it's more commonly known now) before permanent damage had been done. I was hoping to get an updated copy of this book to include the most current medical information - anyone have a recommendation?

This really works........2003-10-21
I wanted to pipe in that we have used this and the other Doman books with our 3 children with wonderful success. This book is so easy to follow, and will provide you with many hours of joyful interaction with your child. We started the BITS with my son at 8 months and at 6yrs old he is now doing 5th grade work with ease.
A real eye opener!.......2000-03-25
This book has its pros and cons to be sure. However, the most important aspect of this book was not the individual facts the author encourages you to teach, but the vast potential he shows each and every child to possess. Your child. My child. The neighbor's child. Despite what others have come to believe and thus expect from little children, their potential is vast. And the book tells you how children most easily pick up information.
I found the work in preparing the "Bits of Intelligence" cards to be time consuming and/or expensive, but the outcome is real and the learning process a great deal of fun for my girls ages 4 and 1 1/2. They love spending the short focussed, happy time with their mom. The book encourages you to physically hug and verbally encourage your children before and after each learning period of 30 sec - 2 min. What child wouldn't love a no pressure, mom's happy and hugging me time.
I had just read the book when I decided to teach my then 9 mon old her colors. I applied the basic colors from colored paper to the size poster cards they recommend and "flashed" them to our baby three times a day for a few days and VOILA, she knew her colors. I would ask her to pick up the yellow block or bring mom the blue ball and she would correctly identify the colored item the great majority of the time. The book doesn't talk about using the method to specifically teach colors, but I was honestly a bit skeptical about the reality of their methodology, so I applied it to our lives in our way.
I feel as if their is nothing they can't learn. My goal for this summer is to teach the fifty states. I had started with a few that our relatives live in and immediately my then 3 yr old started picking up info from newscasts and children's books and connecting it to what I had taught her. "Mom they are talking about Massachusetts. Isn't that way up north where Grandma lives." She then went on to remind me of the state bird and tree (which I cannot remember). What was so exciting was that SHE was so excited to be able to learn additionally info. in a meaningful way because she had something to connect it to.
I had difficulty finding three times a day when all three of us were awake, up and in a good mood. Also, sometimes my four year old would just not want to play. We have put the cards away for weeks at a time, esp when sick etc. And it takes some organization. A copier would be of benefit also. But remember, if you can read this book with an open mind and not get bogged down with the multitude of info it talks about teaching your children, then it can be a wonderful tool to use in teaching them whatever you want. Children are happy to learn new things, be it about saints, leaves, food or clouds. Let them learn and have fun too!
BEWARE!.......1999-11-13
Doman's techniques may work to some extent, but his view on what constitutes "knowledge" is rubbish. Like many simpletons, Doman believes trivia is true knowledge. "Bit of intelligence" is his label for a piece of trivia, implying that the human being who has memorized the most trivia has accumulated the most intelligence. If you want your child to be a Jeopardy contestant, read this book immediately. If you want your child to be a thinker, don't waste your time and money. Albert Einstein, one of the greatest thinkers of all time, despised trivia. Do you want your child to be an Einstein or a Trabek?
It is about improving your child's opportunities in life........1999-09-21
5Starts is not enough, when it comes to improving our children, there is not enough stars in heaven to rate this book. I encourage you to not be like "The Mother from Hell" look beyond her comments. It is clear that she ABSOLUTELY did not understand the methodology or the philosophy behind it, as she clearly labels it a memorization exercise. On the service the whole program looks like nothing but memorization. However if you understand the philosophy you understand that it is all about Quality repetitive stimulation, not memorization. The philosophy is simple and we have heard it a million times, The brain is like a muscle the more you exercise (stimulate) it the more it develops. There is one important difference however, the development of the brain is some what inversely proportional to ones age. The youngest mind (Infant mind) responds (develops) the best to stimulation. There is one other major point we need to understand. There is a difference between learning and developing the brain. Developing the brain is the establishment of the neuron connection in the brain in to the different areas of the brain, this is how your increase your IQ. Learning is the activity of studying a subject, and internalizing it, this is how you increase your wisdom/knowledge.
We all understand to become a professional athlete, we need to develop the capability of the muscles to perform the work and we need to learn the skill to perform the work. We also understand there is no way to separate the two different development areas. That is as a beginner to any sport you have to and do develop both the skill and the ability at the same time as you participate. The whole point Glenn and Janet Doman are making is one that any good coach understands, the most effective way to increase the rate of development and potential of ability is to engage in quality repetitive stimulation.
My degree is in Education, and I am a student of life and how we, and why we learn, Glenn and Janet have written several books that clearly explain why and how to increase your child's potential. The philosophy is sound and the methods are well proven. There is but one thing to consider, are you willing to develop children that are smarter then your self and give them a real chance to excel. If so read the books, understand the philosophy and consistently employee the methods. Your children will be greatly rewarded!!
Will turn you into a "Mom from hell".......1999-07-19
Gimme a break! Memorizing is the easiest thing for children to do. Being able to mouth off thousands of information does not make one a better or more intelligent person. Kids need to learn how to analyze, interpret, solve problems, and think critically and creatively. In this age of information explosion, such "encyclopedic knowledge" is less relevant than before. Any information today can easily become obsolete tomorrow. Kids need to learn values, to become human. I bought this book and it almost turned me into a "Mom from hell". I'm glad I changed my mind about it and decided to trust my child and be more relaxed about her development. My goal is for her to become an enthusiastic, lifelong learner - not a computer databank.

This is a MUST HAVE REFERENCE for parents, babysitters, daycare people, etc. Is organized by developmental age, newborn, 2-3 months old, etc. You can use the index to look up a diagnosis or body sytem (respiratory sys.) or look up the conditions alphabetically. The colored pictures are great...especially for a child choking or needing mouth to mouth resusitation. I will never sell this book. It will stay in the family.

Book Description
For sixty years, myths about Pearl Harbor have proliferated. After six years of intense research, naval historian Michael Gannon has finally separated fact from fiction to re-create the dramatic events surrounding that fateful December morning. Drawing on largely untapped U.S. and Japanese primary sourcesincluding overlooked or unknown military orders, code intercepts, aide memoirs, eyewitness interviews, and private correspondencethe author builds a stunning narrative that penetrates a smokescreen of cover-ups, top-level military misdirections, and faulty diplomatic decisions. In Pearl Harbor Betrayed, Gannon has accomplished what heretofore seemed impossible: he has set the record straight about the most exhaustively examined and debated event in our entire history.

More than a few nuggets ..........2006-05-29
While Professor Gannon (Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus of History at the University of Florida) has now shifted his interest and research focus to the early history of Florida, he remains best known for his work on German U-boats of WWII (Operation Drumbeat), and investigating the issue of the effectiveness of aerial reconnaissance at Pearl Harbor (e.g., Dorn Report).
This book is a valuable addition to our better and fuller understanding of Pearl Harbor. Its logical structure, crisp writing, and expertisely developed train of citations offer the reader a journey that is rewarded by its "let you decide" conclusion.
Some of the more intrinsical materials Professor Gannon uses are from newly released documents; but much comes from the earlier Pearl Harbor investigations and documents from that period, particularly the Martin-Bellinger report.
For example, note 78 from "Chapter Six: War Warning" has Seth Richardson's comments:
"It was well known and recognized in Washington for at least a year prior to 7 December 1941 that adequate protection of the fleel in Hawaii, where Washington ordered it to base rather than on the west coast, depended on having an adequate number of patrol and bomber planes with which to maintain reconnaissanace and to defeat any approaching attacking force; that during the year 1941 there were manufactured in the United States a very large number of patrol and bomber planes, of which only a few were sent to Hawaii while a large and dispportionate number were diverted by Washington to Great Britain, in many instances under lend-lease; ..."
[N.B., Lend-Lease records show that over 200 PBYs went to Great Britain in 1941. Harry Hopkins, personal advisor to FDR, was the Director of the Lend-Lease Program at this time. Also, Great Britain received US built PURPLE machines and Pearl Harbor did not received a one.]
Another example, from the Epilogue, is note 56, of interest to the "pied piper" of Prange and associates and their ageing lemmings:
"Ibid., p. 344. Use of the language 'most dangerous sectors' reminds one of the historian Gordon W. Prange, on two counts. First, because, as Prange wrote, the Martin-Bellinger estimate of 31 March 1941 was an 'historic work' 'famous to all students of the Pacific war," At Dawn We Slept, p.93. Second, because he (or his two collaborators) wrote that the Martin-Bellinger estimate of 31 March 1941 postulated that the "most dangerous sectors" from which an air attack on Pearl might be mounted were "the north and northwest." Gordon W. Prange, with Donald M. Goldstein and Katherine V. Dillon, Pearl Harbor: The Verdict of History (New York: McGraw-Hill Company, 1986), p.411. But Martin-Bellinger states no such thing; the text can be found in three places in the JCC record: Pt. 1, pp. 379-82; Pt. 22, pp. 349-54; and Pt. 33, pp. 1182-86. It appears that the 'famous historic' is also an unread work. ..."
As more Pearl Harbor material continue to be released, now even with some original documents coming from private hands, it is fitting to recognize Professor Gannon ending sentence.
"Truth is the daughter of time."
Another well sourced defense for Adm. Kimmel........2006-01-08
The theory that Roosevelt may have ordered a passive response to the attack by Japan on the Pearl Harbor Fleet is not to be found within this book. However, this book reinforces my opinion formed by reading other recent books on this subject, that Roosevelt did encourage a passive response to a pending Japanese attack. Gannon's knowledge of what took place in the Atlantic helps the reader understand the risks he placed on Kimmel, who fell into his job, because his predecessor spoke his mind about the grave risks to the Pacific Fleet.
As Gannon points out, Roosevelt replaced a permenent 4 star (Admiral Richardson) with Kimmel, who recieved a temporary 4 star as CinPac. It is not hard to believe that Roosevelt wanted someone who would be more pliable, and the leverage was the temporary jump in grade for Kimmel.
Gannon points out that eventually Kimmel came to the same conclusions as Richardson, but he never went personally to Roosevelt to complain. Roosevelt was an armchair admiral based on his previous service as Assitant Secretary of the Navy during WWI. He didn't like people who disagreed with him, even if that person had Richardson's experience and expertise.
It is not hard for me to believe that Roosevelt fired Richardson because he was standing in the way of his overall strategy to bring the US into the war with Germany.
A 1998 publication of Thomas E Mahl, Desparate Deception, which describes Roosevelt's cooperation with British Intelligence during this period depicts a President willing to participate in plots that are not covered in College History texts.
Gannon does provide enough information for the reader to realize that Kimmel was not the incompetent that was the fabricated judgement of the first "investigations" about Pearl Harbor.
Gannon does provide evidence that Kimmel and Short were among the first victims of the shooting war, as convenient scapecoats and provided political cover for a story that was too complex and emotional to be covered during and shortly after the war.

Washington's and Kimmel's mistakes revealed.......2002-04-23
December 7, 1941-Who was to blame? This book attempts to answer this burning question and does a pretty good job. There are several different points that the author makes in this book, but his main thesis is that Admiral Kimmel, Commander-in Chief of the United States Pacific Fleet, was denied valuable information which, in his mind, could have prevented or in the least alerted the U.S. forces to the impending Japanese attack. The author brings up several points to prove his case. For instance, Admiral Richmond Kelly Turner, chief of the war plans division, believed that Kimmel had in his possession a "Purple" machine, which could decipher the Japanese diplomatic code, and that Kimmel was reading all of the information that Washington was receiving. This was not true. The Purple machine that was supposed to go to Pearl Harbor was instead sent to the British. Admiral Stark and General Marshall are also singled out by the author. No "clear" war warning message was sent to Kimmel by Washington, and on the Day of the attack, Marshall was out horseback riding and did not arrive in his office until approximately an hour before the attack began. A warning was sent when he arrived, but it was delayed by atmospheric problems and could only be transmitted as a telegram. Kimmel received this message about an hour after the attack began. In retrospect, Washington must shoulder some of the blame for failing to keep its Hawaiian commanders informed, but Kimmel and his subordinates must share some of the blame as well. For example, the author tells of the story of the Japanese submarine that was spotted and sunk off the harbor entrance. Why was there no alert after this sinking? Also, two army privates spotted the Japanese attack planes on radar while they were still over 100 miles from Pearl Harbor. Still, no alert was issued. This book also has excellent excerpts from the Congressional Hearings held in 1945-46. Overall, I think this book is a excellent, although short, examination of Kimmel and Washington.
Failures that doomed a fleet.......2001-12-21
It's hard to decide which is more disturbing: the oversights, omissions, and bad decisions that led to America's unpreparedness in the face of Japan's devastating attack on Pearl Harbor ... or the desperation, speed, and skill with which senior military and political officials unjustly made Admiral Husband E. Kimmel and General Walter Short the scapegoats for what happened.
Both elements are exposed to view in Michael Gannon's excellent book -- a fine addition to the Pearl Harbor bookshelf.
Gannon does a very good job sorting out who was in possession of what intelligence information in the weeks and days leading up to the attack. The 'betrayal' -- one of them, anyway -- was that, for a variety of reasons, much of that information never ended up in the hands of the on-scene commanders, who needed it most.
As Gannon summarizes, 'An Army Chief of Staff orders that no operational intelligence drawn from Magic be sent to his menaced commander in Hawaii, then later states that he was unaware that enemy intelligence was denied him ... An Army intelligence chief, representing the service specifically charged with defending the fleet at Pearl, punts on the grounds that fleet ships, after all, belong to the Navy ... A Navy war plans chief states that any transmission of operational intelligence of this kind should have been sent out by ONI [office of naval intelligence], something he himself never permitted to happen ... A director of naval intelligence discerns in bomb plot messages no more than Japanese curiosity and "nicety" of detail about the time required for ships to sortie from harbor ... and a CNO [chief of naval operations], as uninformed at the time on this espionage as was the Army Chief of Staff, states four years later that ONI should have sent the information to Kimmel -- in direct violation of restraints that his own OpNav office had placed on ONI ... Surely, if ever there was a "fog of pre-war," it hung over Washington in the fall of '41' (p. 195, ellipses in original).
(Gannon firmly rejects the 'Roosevelt knew' hypothesis. He also treats Stinnett's 'Day of Deceit' to only a paragraph or so of scathing analysis, noting in italics, 'It is important to recognize that no naval operational message text in JN-25B [code] was read by the United States prior to 7 December' [p. 206].)
But the intelligence failure was only part, albeit the largest part, of the 'betrayal.' Early in the book, Gannon lists a damning catalog of the ways higher-ups in D.C rejected Kimmel and Short's pleas for men and materiel. More patrol planes? Denied. More AA guns? Denied. Money for more airstrips, so planes could be dispersed more widely? Sorry. Not in the budget. More radar installations? Maybe in the future. More trained gunners and patrol pilots? Sorry. We need them elsewhere. And on, and on, and on. To paraphrase Winston Churchill, don't give us the tools and we can't do the job.
And yet, Kimmel and Short were scapegoated precisely for their alleged 'failure' to do the job. In the end, Gannon explicitly declines to draw conclusions, leaving that, on his last page of text, to the reader. It may not be too much of a reach, though, to suggest that Gannon seems to agree with Admiral Raymond Spruance, whom Gannon quotes at the start of his final chapter: 'I have always felt that Kimmel and Short were held responsible for Pearl Harbor in order that the American people might have no reason to lose confidence in their Government in Washington. This was probably justifiable under the circumstance at the time, but it does not justify forever damning these two fine officers' (p. 261).
Personally, I think losing confidence in the 'Government in Washington' is precisely the conclusion that *should* be drawn from Gannon's analysis, 'circumstance at the time' be damned. As an illustration of bureaucracy's ability to shift blame away from itself and sweep unpleasant facts under the rug, the story of Pearl Harbor is unsurpassed. And Gannon is an excellent and insightful storyteller. I recommend this book to any student of Pearl Harbor.
Better than Midrange.......2001-10-24
It's hard to tell from the title, but this is neither a conspiracy book nor (entirely) a whitewash of Adm. Kimmel but a fairly good overview. The book covers the comprehensive blind spots, especially those in Washington, that lead to the surprise at Pearl Harbor. Gannon writes entertainingly and covers detail well. However I think his (deserved) admiration for Kimmel leads him to soft-pedal the parts of the evidence that suggest his culpability. The admiral deserves, although not the whole blame for being unprepared, a sizeable amount of it. Gordon Prange's relatively hard to find "Pearl Harbor: the Verdict of History" covers much the same ground as Gannon but does not hesitate to point out Kimmel's and Short's mistakes alongside everyone else's. And Prange (himself a WWII vet) knew and liked Kimmel personally. I don't regret buying Gannon's book but I would hate to use it for my sole resource on the subject.
