About this title

Review

'Barnes' own enthusiasm for and belief in his subject, interspersed with teachers' comments, a large number of practical teaching suggestions and well-chosen colour plates of children's work, makes the book an engaging and worthwhile read. - Jane Bower, Early Years

'This is an excellent publication. It addresses the problems of teaching in all the main craft areas and deals with important issues such as why art should be on the curriculum, classroom organisation, talking with children and assessment and evaluation ... Overall it critically argues and contains a wealth of information and good sense - a valuable supplement for those who already know the first edition and an essential addition to the libraries of those who do not.' - International Journal of Early Years Education
