Autor

Michael Reed is an ordinary man in all respects. Average height, average looks (even though his wife tells him different) average intelligence - that's him, alright. Except that from the birth of his first son in 1984 to the birth of his youngest son in 2016 he has taken all of his children to the local library once every week for almost three decades. This makes him - far less average. He has read many thousands of books to them and all seven of his children look forward to bedtime because of the stories he would read to them. There's the thing: the good books were always read again and again and the bad ones only read once. So Michael Reed is an apt name, don't you think? He knows what children like to read and listen to. Hence his own series of short stories.

Rezensionen

'This well edited book illustrates the importance of reflective practice in the early years through consideration of many contemporary issues and will be of interest to Childhood Studies and EYPS students as well as, practitioners and University tutors. The inclusion of many practical examples enables readers to make links between theory and practice, to examine their own practice and emphasises the powerful learning undertaken through considered reflection' - Sue Kay-Flowers, Senior Lecturer, Liverpool Hope University
