| Summary |
"This book provides the first ever cultural-historical study of the play of children from birth to 2 years of age in their early childhood education and care settings across 7 countries. Researchers from New Zealand, Australia, Chile, Hong Kong China, Japan, Sweden and USA present their investigations of the play activities of infants and toddlers in their early childhood settings. They examine the cultural construction of play in these different contexts through a cultural-historical analysis." "The book presents a review of the literature, drawing upon Vygotsky's (1966) work to frame the review, followed by a critique of research and theory on play within the field of early childhood education.
