Playing to Get Smart

by Elizabeth Jones and Renatta M. Cooper

Book Overview

Play is the most effective way for children to develop critical life skills such as creative thinking and social problem solving. In this book, Betty Jones, well-known for her work on play, is joined by her colleague Renatta Cooper to offer a radical vision of early schooling--an antidote for the current pressure of standardized education.

Practicing what it preaches, Playing to Get Smart will be a playful reading experience...
