Readings on the Development of Children

Rating:
Summary: Excellent supplement to an outstanding text.
Review: Gauvain and Cole's "Readings on the Development of Children-3d Edition" is an excellent supplement to an outstanding text. Where so many "workbook" type supplements are little more than an encapsulation of material already covered in the main text, "Readings..." is a collection of classic and contemporary articles that provides an excellent springboard for discussion in graduate level seminars.

I especially like the fact that each reading is followed by discussion questions that encourage studentts to think more broadly about key concepts.

Review: I was very disappointed in this book. I expected it to directly support the text but it was simply a collection of articles. While the articles were useful, I was expecting the "readings" to be more closely tied to the text.
