A DVD with eight videos illustrating key early childhood settings and approaches is included with every copy of this text. Video references in the marginsof the book also link book content to video content.

More Useful Than Ever. A focus on adding more useful, "how-to" strategies and guidelines has resulted in a much more applied book.
