Reviews

[1st edition] If you can only afford one book on early childhood, it has to be this one. Early Childhood Studies provides a compelling and comprehensive introduction in this field. Engagingly accessible as a textbook, yet effortlessly scholarly, this volume is essential reading and a ‘must-have’ companion for all with an interest in understanding early childhood in contemporary times. * Mary Jane Kehily, Professor of Gender and Education, The Open University, UK * [1st edition] This is a fully comprehensive examination of childhood. It will make an excellent core textbook for students of Early Childhood Studies; they will find it interesting, easy to read and informative. I would be proud to have written it myself. * Penny Farrelly, Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Society and Health, Bucks New University, UK *
