Review
Understanding Child Development is refreshingly clear, readable and user friendly. With explanations of the key theories and research in all areas of child development this is the ideal source for students at NVQ Level 3 and 4, and on degree programmes. The book covers the main theoretical approaches and the key concepts that have shaped good practice, as well as providing underpinning knowledge. (Early Years )
I found this book useful and it adds practical meaning to those theories we might be familiar with but may not recognise where they fit into practice.

brilliant
purchased for my degree and i find it perfect for degree study - personally i would not use this book for lower level courses such as level 2 or 3 as it is very in-depth.
highly recommended, very detailed, very well written. excellent book.
