CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND LEARNING 2-5 YEARS: Georgia's story by Cath Arnold.
(Paul Chapman Publishing, 14.99, 020 7374 0645)
Reviewed by Jennie Lindon, early years consultant
This book is a welcome contribution to the literature available for early years practitioners. The clear focus on one child is an excellent antidote to the current risks of focusing so much on the general framework, and learning goals for all, that we lose sight of how individual children negotiate the early years.
Georgia attended the Penn Green Early Years Centre and the book describes her perspective on life, personal approach to learning and the changes in her family life over several years. Cath Arnold has managed a helpful blend of some theoretical underpinning to child development, especially that of Piaget and Vygotsky, without losing the freshness of observations of Georgia herself.
