Lagging a bit behind Jo Ann Brewer's and George S. Morrison's texts, Feeney & Company's book thoroughly presents the field in its essentials and reference points, but fails to internally cite the groundmaking scholarly works that put forth the concepts. With ever increasing accountability in the field, teachers need much training in accumulating the internal integrity and knowledge through a historical derived logic. Knowning where commonplace early childhood concepts originate begins this training.

A good third text.

I had to buy this book for class and while I enjoy some of the discussion sections for each chapter, I think it lacks aspects which would make this better for students. Not to mention, it is politically correct, liberal in some of its comments which some conservatives won't like. I bought from the marketplace sellers so hopefully not giving money to the original author/companies. The book should include vocabulary separately, so you can isolate and memorize key concepts of the chapters. It also seemed to jump around in topic. When you are trying to understand new concepts, that is not a good idea. It is hard to correlate what they are saying, with what you need to learn.

I am sure this book has wonderful information in it, but it is so hard to read you just don't bother with it. I have not met anyone in my class or other classes that were able to get through this textbook. There is wonderful information in it and the colored pages are a nice touch, but the bold font type is awful. Every time I look at this font style I see double. I even showed it to another teacher in the ECE field and she was surprised with the font as well..

The book came in three days and it was in excellent condition. This book does not offer an access code to my Education [...]

I'm happy w/the purchase. I had to purchase this book for a class I'm taking, and it was way less expensive than purchasing it from the school (by about $50.) That was the best thing about this experience. As far as the actual book, it's good... easy to read, and topics are outlined well. There are also a lot of good activities that the teacher can use to assign to he class... activities that make you think, as it relates to the chapter. I plan to keep this book after my class is done.

The book was in excellent- like new- conditiion, and the CD was included. I am very satisfied with the seller and the product.

I need this book for an Early Childhood Education Course. I have found the book to be thorough and to the point. With many textbooks, it can be difficult to decipher how the contents fit with the subject you're studying but this book does not leave me with that feeling.

The book which I ordered was delivered in a timely manner. It was in very new condition. I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you.

My book came earlier then expected. It is also in better shape then I thought it would be in! :o) Great!
