- Early ChildhoodTextbook
Sorry, I really don't have any good comments on this, because I haven't had any classes to use it with right now. Maybe later in the fall classes I might be able to use it then.

Thank you.

- Just Like Morrison's Other Book, But Better.
Morrison's FUNDAMENTALS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION is his other book (third best, in my opinion, behind Jo Ann Brewer's book and Stephanie Feeney's book). This is essentially the same excellent text with a well-done added section on Programs and Services For Children.

Like Morrison's other text, it's full of alot of stuff in just a little over 530 pages, but it's a one-stop reference.

The only problem is the price: $95. You can get the other three books for less money ... Read More

- .. a "Must have" for anyone interested in early childhood ed
I am majoring in Birth through kindergarten Education, and I feel that this book is well worth the money. With its many colorful charts and their detailed descriptions, it is an easy way to get the sometimes complicated information understood. This, along with the helpful websites and each chapters' focus questions, this book is a "must have!"

- "Early Childhood Education Today"...a review
I have used this text for two years in my Foundations class that I teach at a local college. I personally like the broad scope of information that is contained, but considered the 1997 version outdated from the start..i.e., no brain research; In additon, I do not think the work is well written at all. It is confusing and hard to follow. As an example, he mentions Socrates and Plato, but does not say why (Chapter three, page 62). I could site other examples but "brevity is the soul of wit"!

- Terrific resource book
I've used this book as a reference because of the tremendous amount of information it holds. The information is up to date and presented in a clear way. Early Childhood Education Today is easy to read, comprehend, and utilize as a college student.
