Creativity and the Arts with Young Children, 2E is written for early childhood educators as well as those who work with children from birth through age eight. The focus of this revised text, is on making the vital connection to the arts throughout all areas of the classroom, including music, movement, drama, and the visual arts, and focusing on developing creative teachers who will be able to foster an artistic environment. The text includes observations and photos of teachers and children that demonstrate practical ways the arts can be used to help children reach their potential. Expanded content on multi-intelligences, Reggio Emilia, divergent questioning, and art recipes, is supported with chapter ending literacy connections, and activities for adults. The book provides many ideas for open-ended activities that are important for the development of young children, and will encourage them to think in new ways. Professional standards and recommendations are addressed so that teachers can recognize what goals these organizations believe are important in the early years. Thorough in its coverage, the text speaks to children with special needs and cultural diversity, leaving the reader with the most complete information regarding arts in the young child's classroom.

Review
My overall impression of the text is that it is well-written covering the arts, not just the visual arts, but all of the arts.
The greatest strengths of this text are: the wonderful activities that are included the open-ended art activities. It is very difficult to find open-ended art activities the clarity with which the author speaks uses language that students relate to easily this book is just the right length so that I can bundle it with another book and the cost is kept to a minimum for the students.
Overall, I like this book. The content is interesting and presented in a very usable way. I am interested enough to look deeper into each chapter and find out what content is described and how the authors view each topic, such as play or creativity.
This book appears to be a very nice undergraduate text. It is well organized, and provides books, childrens literature, and web sites that are helpful at the end of each chapter some of the photographs are wonderful.

This review is from: Creativity and the Arts with Young Children (Paperback)
This book is excellent. I have only had to read the first 4 chapters to date. I have learned so much about creativity and young children.
I thought of myself to be a creative person until I read these first couple of chapters.
