"This book brings a refreshing Vygotskian perspective to the importance of children's play, and the role it has in the physical, social, emotional and cognitive development of young children. The authors use a praxeological approach and participatory, ethical research to provide a comprehensive yet accessible addition to the crucial and expanding field of Early Years play. Including illustrative vignettes and case studies, and covering a range of contexts, theories and approaches, the experienced authors explore a variety of topics, including: Role-play and Early Years practice -- Incorporating technology into practise -- Scenario and role development -- Play in the home as well as the classroom. Endorsed by EECERA, A Vygotskian Analysis of Children's Play Behaviours is an ideal choice for Early Years practitioners, researchers, policy makers, and academics researching or lecturing in Early Childhood Education"--
