"This is an exciting book. I couldn't wait to read it, and I was not disappointed. Among its many excellent features is the way in which it illuminates the cultural-ecological model of play in early childhood. I doubt if anyone who reads the book will forget the vivid images it evokes of children's play in these diverse and fascinating cultures and the many evidences of the 'overlapping layers of environmental influence' that shape its forms and functions."I believe that Children's Play in Diverse Cultures will prove a major stimulus for across- and within-culture studies employing cultural-ecological concepts. I became aware that some of the things I regarded as well-established 'truths' about child development do not apply in all cultures, and assuming they do can limit our educational practice. I feel stronger as an advocate for children as a result of reading this work." — Penelope Griffing
