Review:

"I see that this text could be used in any of the three infant and toddler courses the college offers." Janet Imel, BS, MA, Adjunct Faculty, Ivy Tech State College, Indiana

"I can say that this edition is getting to a better place for 4-year colleges to be able to utilize the text as a book for an infant-toddler course. As it has been broadened beyond the CDA requirements and language to include infant-toddler teachers as early childhood educators." - Dr. Tisha Bennett Sanders, Assistant Professor, Peabody College, Vanderbilt University, TN
