!an invaluable resource for all those working in Early Years education! -- Child Education Child Education 20031028 This book makes for both an exciting and informative read. Exciting because it offers both a theoretical framework combined with excellent examples of classroom experience. The over view of play theories presented at the beginning of the book is clearly written, and offers powerful justification for the place that drama and imaginative play should have in the education of all children, not just those in the Early Years. -- Early Years Early Years Update 20031028
