"Bookplay"--this mom's dream resource

"Bookplay" is a terrific resource for anyone with (or teaching) preschoolers. The author has provided detailed outlines of 101 "creative themes", in groupings such as "Around town", "Families together", and "Winter". These outlines include appropriate books, related craft projects, songs, and follow-up activities. The book includes an appendix of songs, with words and music; it also has a 33-page bibliography of the books and recordings within the text, for easy reference. I LOVE this book--it is so user-friendly, and for this at-home-mom who practiced as a pediatric OT, the level of books and projects and songs is right-on in terms of preschoolers' development. It's great for homeschoolers, and parents looking to enrich their pre-schoolers' lives and suuplement nursery curriculums. Ms. MacDonald's one of my new heroes!
