Creative Development provides both breadth and depth on this very important aspect of early years' education. The book is written at a level that is intellectually stimulating but also highly accessible. The use of case examples and suggestions for practice provide a wealth of ideas for new practitioners, and the suggestions for reflection can be very useful in the teacher education classroom.
