I really like this book. I have a child with down syndrome. This was a warmer book and was not as clinical as most of the the other books I've read. I put it in gift baskets for new moms that contact me who have recently had a child with down syndrome.
Not terribly encouraging....

I read this book shortly after my son, who has DS, was born. Maybe I should have waited a while! I found it kind of grim and frightening. It does contain lots of good medical advice, but I think that perhaps Karen Stray Gunderson's book is the best book to start reading. I also like the Pueschel book. Perhaps because these individuals have children with DS, whereas Cliff Cunningham does not, the books are written in a more sensitive fashion. As a new parent just learning about DS, we need encouragement!
An excellent second book 2002-03-15
This book is an excellent introduction to Down syndrome. The author of this book is British so it does not concentrate on US law as much as the book "Babies With Down Syndrome". This is the book to read after you have had a chance to catch your breath and are ready to learn some of the practical issues of raising a child with DS.

I recently did a presentation for my biology class on Down syndrome. I found this book to be very helpful. It was very informative and offered much information. Some information of which was not found in other sources. This book offers a lot of information on Down syndrome, as well as what to expect from an individual with Down sydrome and how to care for them.
