I found the "young 2's", "middle 2's", "older 2's" designations to be not very useful for my daughter, but the general layout of the book was very conducive to quickly looking up fun, simple-to-set-up activities for toddlers. I especially liked the large number of rhymes and songs. There was a little more of the "when your child does this, praise her profusely" stuff than I'd have liked, but then, I'm a little funny about rewards and punishments. Even for me, though, this didn't detract much. ( )
