Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Fantastic Resource!
I am a pre-primary teacher and this book is a great resource. It has great hands on activities, songs stories... everything to make learning experiences rich and engaging! I love the appendixes at the back, great pictures and finger puppets and felt pieces to go with popular stories! I strongly recommend this book for any early childhood educator! :)



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - self-promoting
This book serves largely as a vehicle to publish the creative works (poetry and songs) of one of the authors. The remainer of the content of this book is trite and generally useless.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - For GROUPS of children

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Belongs on your reference shelf!
Weighing in a nearly four pounds, this is one book that truly lives up to its name. I cannot ever recall seeing a resource book that had more ideas between the covers. There are action stories, fables, folktales, rhymes, puppet stories, listening stories, games, craft projects, recipes, dances, activities, and more. There are old favorites, new favorites, and everything in between.
The book is quite easy to navigate, thanks to the handy thematic chart as well as two unbelievably comprehensive ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - If you deal with young children you need this book
One of the most valuable resources you can have if you are a teacher, daycare worker, or just like to have a lot of fun with young children, "The Complete Book of Activities, Games, Stories, Props, Recipes, and Dances for Young Children is a delightful read. Within the text Jackie Silberg and Pam Schiller have compiled a wonderful collection of over 600 ways to have fun with young children.

Divided into various sections, the first one consists of activities. In it you will find lots of ... Read More
