SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Brian Edmiston presents the case for why and how adults should play with young children to create with them a 'workshop for life'. This book provides researchers and students with a sound theoretical framework for re-conceptualising significant aspects of pretend play in early childhood.
