A good introductory text. I referred to this when I was called as a Sunday School teacher to 10, 5, 6, 7, and 8-year olds (in that order). Covers the major theorists. I would recommend instead getting Miller's "Theories of Developmental Psychology."

This is the greatest book on the subject I have yet to read. I've read it straight through years ago, but I continue to use it to find theories, designs, and references of previous cognitive research. It's helped me write several lab reports. Fabulous book!
