Play, Development and Early Education by James Johnson
Utilizing three major ideas - the quality of play in early childhood, play as a means of self-expression, and play as a channel of communication to achieving social sense - the authors examine the beliefs, perspectives, and theories relating to play and what effects culture, media and technology have on play.
