Review:
I would adopt this text and if regular editions were published, I would continue to use the text for multiple years.
The organization of the chapters seems logical and I believe the major topics for a text with this focus are covered.
This book gives detail on how to actually work with parents and get them involved in early childhood education unlike any other book on the market currently.
I like the strong research base that the text is based on and the age span covered coincides with the scope of the early childhood license. The organization of the book is excellent and the specific activities for teachers to utilize will be useful material."
