A very comprehensive book

I am an expectant mother with an interest (and some background) in psychology and children's development. I bought this book to develop a better understanding of the stages of children's development and various development theories. The book is extremely comprehensive, written in simple language, with numerous accounts of experiments that exemplify development theories. It is an excellent read.
