I like how this book was written. The author avoids jargon so you can really focus on what you are reading rather than trying to remember what the "big words" mean. Its easy to read and you can pretty much breeze right through it. I like it. I am reading it for a child development class and so far its worth it.

I have had many textbooks that have nearly put me to sleep with their blah blah blah writing. This textbook has been such a great read! The chapters run about 20 or so pages, its written in plain folks language and is very easy to understand. You won't be disappointed!

The college book I purchased thru Amazon was in excellent condition and I received it much quicker than originally projected. Couldn't be happier with the seller or with the facilitator.

really awesome book teaches a lot about children & their community. I loved this book it provided me with lots of knowledge.

I got this book timely and in great shape. Actually the book was completely new. I love this book!

Known for the "diamond standard" for infants and toddlers (i.e. INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND CAREGIVERS), Gonzalez-Mena shows her diversity with this solo-written text on the family aspect of early care and education.

Like her other text, Gonzalez-Mena prefers content over presentation which, in her case, is as right as rain. As usual, she eschews color pictures and innovative, dazzling graphic organizers in favor of outstanding pieces of knowledge (i.e. her nugget on working with families on guidance and disicipline on Page 171).

I love her approach because you get much more packed into a volume (for only 60 or so dollars) than you get in splashier books like, for example, Couchenor's family involvement book or Olsen/Fuller's text.

Give it a try.

This book was needed for one of my summer classes. It is a good text with helpful info. for teachers. I was very impressed with the seller. It shipped very quickly and was in excellent condition for a great price. THANK YOU!

Awesome textbook, however, if you are one of the few hetero-males working in this field beware of the all to common (yet subliminal) anti-male slant.
