Why Play?: How to Make Play an Essential Part of Early Education
Rae Pica
In an age when play is often seen as frivolous or unproductive, this book explains the importance of play in early childhood education. Each chapter focuses on a type of play, includes suggestions for putting theory into practice, and offers recommendations that educators can use to help parents understand that play is not separate from learning.
