Format:Paperback
I am currently studying a BA (Hons) In early childhood education and this book has given me a real insight into creativity. It is easy to read and well set out. The book covers adult roles, the importance of peers in creativity, the importance of creativity in our society and many other subjects are discussed. I recommend this book for those who have a real interest in childrens creative and imaginative play. The book has really helped me think about extending childrens creativity through real life scenarios and reflecting on my role when working with children. A real delight to read!
