Review

``A concise, up-to-date summary of research. Cox wrestles with the studies in order to arrive at an approximate truth, rather than to make a point. The thorough coverage of recent research makes this volume a valuable reference work for graduate students, researchers, and faculty members.'' --Carolyn Edwards, Ed.D., Professor of Family Studies, University of Kentucky

``The only work I know of that devotes itself to thorough discussion of perspective- and role-taking abilities of young children. It is very well written and offers a fresh perspective and consolidation of material. This work would clearly be of value to advanced undergraduate students, beginning graduate students in developmental or cognitive psychology, and faculty outside of these particular areas who wish to become acquainted with them.'' --Robert Cohen, Ph.D., Professor of Psychology, Memphis State University

"Cox's book is well worth reading. It is written clearly and enthusiastically, and its sections on children's language and their drawings are particularly exciting." --Peter Bryant, Professor of Psychology, Oxford University
