After Jo Ann Brewer’s superb INTRODUCTION TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION textbook, I would get this resource to keep me up-to-date on the foundational knowledge that stands as essential for early childhood professionals. Even though it lacks a chapter exclusively devoted to the all-important role of play in early childhood education, the absence of such a discussion leaves the learner with a more neutral reference point from which to decide his position on whether or not to align with a play-based curricular philosophy
Morrison presents a starkly realistic and contemporary overview of the field with an outstandingly streamlined overview of Piaget’s Stages of Cognitive Development (where he keeps a keen and faithful eye on expressing the ideas from Piaget/Inhelder’s THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE CHILD).
After getting the Brewer text and Morrison, you should need no other book of this type. Please try Feeney, Christensen, & Moravcik’s WHO AM I IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN if you need one more excellent text.
