Book Recommendations A reputable and insightful collection of books on childhood development topics is by Dr. Ingrid Crowther. The founder of Lifelong Learn, Dr. Crowther has written books for children, parents and teachers based on her research and experience teaching young children. "The Power of Play" is a recommended resource. It focuses on the importance and developmental levels of play including cognitive and social learning. The information is illustrated and uses easy to understand terminology, with definition boxes within the text. The Importance of Books for Children Reading books to learn how to effectively teach a child is a great start to progressing learning and development at a younger age. Early childhood books can also be written for children. Books for children by Dr. Crowther combine fun with learning to progress young children's developmental levels, while playing and socializing. The book, "Feelings" is an early reading book that is filled with fully coloured photographs of children demonstrating their feelings. Developmentally young children express feelings with their body language, expressions and actions. This is a great book to play along with a young child, while figuring out the feelings of the children in the book, and trying to recreate those feeling using the child's own unique expressions and interpretations. Books serve many purposes for aiding childhood development. They provide the parents and teachers with resources to supplement their own experience and knowledge, and they create a fun experience for young children who are learning about the world and the people around them. Children who start reading early develop the habit of reading for fun and leisure, and they will take these positive practices with them throughout their academic years, and into adulthood.
