Editorial Reviews
Review
ESCalate
‘[This book] is a great guide to read prior to beginning a course and will help prepare students not only for studying childhood at degree level, but also for writing assignments and carrying out research projects too. It even offers advice on career opportunities and ‘next steps’ after completing a course’ –

‘I think this is an excellent book for childhood and early childhood students, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The authors have captured precisely the challenging issues for students, and this book really helps to develop students’ understanding of the importance of knowledge and judgement in their future work with children’ – Elise Alexander, Principal Lecturer in Early Childhood Studies, Roehampton University
