A fabulous primer for 3-5 year old play at school. It has some outdated inferences about motherhood, but other than that, it is impeccable. So many wonderful ideas and anecdotes describing how to teach!

Dr. Griffin's insights and advices for early childhood educators in 1980's are still relevant in the 21st century. I was forced to read her dairy like textbook for taking Supervised Experience course but really love it.
