This is a useful text as trainees sometimes have difficulty understanding the value of play. This book spans the age range 0-8 which makes it more of an interesting read.

This book provides an excellent resource in today's inclusive society. The photocopiable resources and diagrams give a great focus to the student with simple ideas that can make a wealth of difference within the school setting.

The text will be useful across a range of modules on play and is therfore chosen as a supplemental text

I like the examples of play that are used in this book, however, since my class is theory based I will only recommend it to the students as supplemental reading. I will recommend it to my colleague who teaches the practicle element of the course.
