Recensioner i media

These American authors provide insights and practical advice for introducing dramatic play as part of everyday practice. they emphasise that young children need opportunities to be involved in dramatic play which they create and control, as a precursor to stor dramatization which uses other people's storylines and symbols. In lively style the book outlines how once children have learned a story through re-tellings and have a grasp of the plot and characters, the idea of acting it out can be introduce.
