Opis

This book brings a refreshing Vygotskian perspective to the importance of play, and the role it has in the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children. The authors use a praxeological approach and participatory research to provide a comprehensive, accessible addition to the expanding field of Early Years play.
