A decent basic comprehensive guide to how children (mainly in their earlier years) develop and use language. Though occasionally cited, and confident, still seems as if the majority of the book is speculation rather than raw fact.

Just finished reading the book so I can trade it into another book box. All in all the book is okay. It tends to teach by example and allegory but there isn't data behind the stories to back up the conclusions. There is an ample bibliography in the back for anyone interested in following up.
