Review by Library Journal Review

"Loose parts" refer to open-ended materials that can be "used and manipulated in different ways," leading to unlimited play possibilities. Beginning with an introduction to the importance of play pertaining to child development, the authors, both educators, organize the text into subchapters such as "Looking," "Grasping," "Twisting," "Balancing," "Throwing," etc. Each page in this oversize volume abounds with gorgeous, full-color photographs of toddlers at work. Muffin tins, paint rollers, and kitchen sieves offer hours of exploration, encouraging creativity that far exceeds the possibilities of manufactured toys. VERDICT Although pricey, this lovely book is rich in visual appeal and thus sure to inspire as designed. For all early child development and parenting collections. © Copyright 2016.
