Rodale Books · 2003

In this accessible synthesis of child development research, Kathy Hirsh-Pasek and Roberta Golinkoff make the case that the current trend toward academic preschools is both misguided and harmful. Drawing on decades of research, they show that children learn best through play, exploration, and rich language environments — not drills, worksheets, and standardized tests.
