Playing to learn : the role of play in the early years / Sandra Smidt.
This book explains why play is important to child development and learning. "Using case studies drawn from all over the world, Smidt challenges some of the prevailing myths relating to play and pays close attention to what early years professionals need to do to interpret the play, understand its purpose for the child and sometimes extend it." - back cover
