Elizabeth Harrison's insights into child psychology and education are as relevant today as they were when this book was first published in 1890. Drawing on her experience as a kindergarten teacher, Harrison argues that young children learn best through play and exploration rather than rote memorization. This book is essential reading for anyone interested in the history of early childhood education or in understanding how young children learn.
