[First Paragraph]
I must say that my first impression of the
third edition of Play and Child Development was: They did it AGAIN! Frost,
Wortham, and Reifel again impressed
me with the depth and breadth of their
understanding of play in this book with
significant updates related to research and
practice. As I finished each chapter, I was
left with the same tranquil satisfaction as
if I had eaten a fine full-course meal. This
book can be used in any child development
course, early childhood education
introductory courses, or early childhood
curriculum courses, in addition to courses
focusing on play. |
