Review

"This book will guide students to make the link between 'book learning' and real life experience with children and adolescents."

--Maria Pagano, New York City College of Technology, CUNY

"I loved the active learning approach. It spoke to me as an educator. I feel that incorporating this type of learning into the classroom will generate more activity in the classroom setting."

--Helen I. Green, Cuyahoga Community College

"I found that the authors did a great job of telling the story of child development. Rather than each chapter being a series of facts and concepts, each chapter wove a clear concept thread throughout each of the sections, so [that] when you finished a chapter you had a well-sown fabric of understanding."

--Lisa Huffmann, Ball State University

"I particularly like the writing style and tone. I also find the active learning approach and exercises [to be] excellent."

--Sharon DeLeon, Fullerton College

"This book is far superior in terms of pedagogical features."

--Michelle Tichy, University of Northern Iowa

"Again and again, Levine and Munsch seek to engage the reader. What could be better?"

--Tim Dickel, Creighton University
