A Great Find!

By accident, I came across this text at a conference. After briefly looking through it, I decided it was worth purchasing because it looked well written, organized and interesting. What I discovered when I took the time to read it more thoroughly is that it's an excellent resource for my early childhood students at Roosevelt University. I highly recommend this text to current teachers or students who are studying to become teachers of young children!
