- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I sought out this book for guidance about my grandson's language development and found it very helpful. My grandson is growing up bilingual, English and Chinese, and was wondering if he was on track. The book is detailed, with useful milestones and guidance for parents on activities as well as when to seek professional assistance. I highly recommend it.
