From Library Journal:

Wiener argues persuasively that parents are in an irreplaceable position to enhance their children's language acquisition by talking with them. Noting that most educational settings for children are conversationally static, he provides strategies for interacting comfortably with children about their ideas, experiences, and surroundings. These strategies are geared toward parents of children up to age six, but many will also enrich older children's language awareness and critical thinking. Wiener equips parents with workable techniques and also conveys a sense of delight in family conversation. He ends with a fine annotated list of 50 children's books with guidelines for enlightened conversation. An excellent choice for public libraries. Cynthia Widmer, Williamstown, Mass.
