A fantastic and very enjoyable book for any students studying a childcare course or early years. It is broken down in to chapters covering every part of play to a good level. Well recommend.
A very timely subject given the renewed emphasis on the state of play in childhood. It is an accessible text with a range of useful activities to encourage students to engage with the many ideas presented on play.

Really informative book combining different theoretcial perspectives on play. Very useful both practically and theoretcially.
This book is not relevant to discipline-based music education.
This is a sound, exploration of play based learning which will be helpful for the Year 1 and Year 2 Early Years students. I will be requesting a lbrary copy and putting it on a reading list for students. Thank you for the inspection copy. I will be using it in teaching sessionns.
With the focus on play being central to all learning this is a great resource.
