Winner - Early Childhood Practice: Froebel today, edited by Tina Bruce, Sage Publications

There can be little doubt that the education of the very young provides an essential foundation for all that follows, and the nature of that education is critical.

This important book locates Froebelian practice in current practice through a wealth of examples from contemporary settings. Edited by Professor Tina Bruce, it brings together contributions from distinguished primary and early childhood practitioners, who show how they have used educational methods advocated by Froebel. Stressing the importance of outdoor play, they take the reader through the Froebelian principles of:

- Play

- Learning through first-hand experience

- Parent partnership and community in early childhood

- Practitioners supporting children's interests and learning
