Child Development From Infancy to Adolescence Reviews

This book will guide students to make the link between 'book learning' and real life experience with children and adolescents.

-- Maria Pagano, New York City College of Technology, CUNY

I loved the active learning approach. It spoke to me as an educator. I feel that incorporating this type of learning into the classroom will generate more activity in the classroom setting.

-- Helen I. Green, Cuyahoga Community College

I found that the authors did a great job of telling the story of child development. Rather than each chapter being a series of facts and concepts, each chapter wove a clear concept thread throughout each of the sections, so [that] when you finished a chapter you had a well-sown fabric of understanding.

-- Lisa Huffmann, Ball State University

I particularly like the writing style and tone. I also find the active learning approach and exercises [to be] excellent.

-- Sharon DeLeon, Fullerton College

This book is far superior in terms of pedagogical features.

-- Michelle Tichy, University of Northern Iowa

Again and again, Levine and Munsch seek to engage the reader. What could be better?

-- Tim Dickel, Creighton University
