In this small book, we embark on a fascinating journey into the consciousness of the very young child. Toddlers need our understanding and support as they make the great transition from wordless communion with the world to encountering people and things through human language. Out of his wisdom and experience, Dutch educator Daniel Udo de Haes brings guidance in how to gently and sensitively help children through this transition.

<p>By the author of The Creative Word, this thought-provoking book takes up the question of the nature and significance of traditional singing games, and how they can be played in an age-appropriate way with young children. The deep esoteric meaning of these seemingly simple games is brought to light, and a convincing argument is made for the importance of a gradual and healthy awakening from the "childhood dream." Delightful examples from the author's Dutch heritage are included, many newly translated into English.</p>

The Singing, Playing Kindergarten

Out of his wisdom and experience, Dutch educator Daniel Udo de Haes offers perspective on how to enrich and guide early childhood development through fairy tales. Fairy tales and old folktales are rich in powerful images that can seem out of place in the early childhood classroom. Drawing clear analogies between the child’s journey into the school-age years and the truths and lessons in fairy tale language, Udo de Haes’s discussion brings educators and parents new understanding to the ways in which well-told fairy tales prevent “impoverishment through the loss of something that should still be a reality: the spiritual world in which the child should still be living.” The World of Fairy Tales is a modern classic for professional development and parent education, translated into English for the first time in this edition.
