(Children and adults have the same needs -shared friendships, space to live and the chance to learn and grow. In a world which seems increasingly hostile to families with young children, many are turning to playgroups to enrich their lives.This book has been referred to as 'The Playgroup Bible'. Now, updated and expanded, this new edition is as practical and comprehensive: it offers even more invaluable advice to parents and to all those who work with the under-fives -playgroup workers, childminders, nursery teachers and nursery nurses and all those who, in turn, teach them. It includes:Setting up a playgroup or a parent & toddler groupRunning a successful playgroup sessionUnderstanding children's development and theirdifferent needsA child's need to learn through playThe adult's role in play and pre-school lifeAn excellent resource sectionPre-School Playgroups understands the difficulties faced by today's mothers and fathers. It looks at the changing role of women, at the importance of pre-school education in relation to working parents, and it discusses children in a multicultural society. Wide-ranging and inspiring, it also suggests ways to stop the play-clay from drying out, how to build a sandpit and how to introduce books and music)

Celebrating 25 years of vegetarian recipes and called "the gold standard for chidren's cookbooks" by the New York Times, Pretend Soup, by celebrated Moosewood chef Mollie Katzen, offers children and families easy recipes for healthy, fun, and delicious food. Mollie Katzen, renowned author of The Moosewood Cookbook, and educator Ann Henderson bring the grown-up world of real cooking to a child’s level. Children as young as three years old and as old as eight become head chef while an adult serves as guide and helper. Extensively classroom- and home-tested, these recipes are designed to inspire an early appreciation for creative, wholesome food. Whimsical watercolor critters and pictorial versions of each recipe will help the young cook understand and delight in the process. Just consider all that can be explored in the kitchen: counting, reading readiness, science awareness, self-confidence, patience, and, importantly, food literacy. Pizza, after all, does not come “from a telephone.” You and your child can have great fun finding this out!
