Margaret Meek’s book is an exploration of literature and language, revealing abundant lessons that enrich the reader’s imagination and guide learners in their understanding of story and life.
This classic gem of a book has been informing British teachers for more than two decades. Now, at last, it is available in the US at a time when conflicting policy issues dull our perceptions about language and literacy. What has been damaged can be reclaimed. Margaret’s engaging book brings to our attention what is important in the work of teachers with young children.
