The past five years have witnessed a proliferation of books on science education for young children. The second edition of this highly regarded work updates original material on textbooks, activities books and science for the special child. Miriam Maracek's new chapter on the role of children's literature in learning establishes criteria for selecting the best science books for young learners. Also, a new chapter examines how the study of science contributes to the development of children's mental processes. In addition to an excellent text, over 100 recent books for practitioners and children are listed and annotated. Although the focus is on the early-childhood years from preschool through grade three, the book also includes materials suitable for the elementary school. An index is provided.
