Editorial reviews
In the ever-deepening field of developmental psychology, the ability to learn language - so inherent in humans - still fascinates from a scientific perspective. From more recent realizations, like that fetuses begin to grasp the most rudimentary parts of language while still in the womb, to more established knowledge concerning how a mother tongue is recognized by a young mind, Dr. Kathy Hirsch-Pasek and Dr. Roberta Golinkiff seek to expose you to the beauty of language, from the significance of babbling, to associations between symbols and sounds. Your guide through these intriguing discoveries is performer Kristin Dzuiba who brilliantly narrates this scientific study with excellent sense accessibility.

Informative and science based

I thought the narrator did a good job, but the place felt ridiculously slow. It sounded a lot more normal at 1.25x the speed, and I listened primarily at 1.5x to save time (which sounded just fine). I think I've listened to this book three times, if you add up the repetitions I've racked up while preparing for quizzes.
Technical, yet accessible.
