Praise for (Almost) Everything You Need to Know about Early Childhood Education:
"This book is an excellent tool for early childhood educators starting out in their field, but even experienced teachers might enjoy going back to the basics as a reminder of what's really important to a child. The book is also useful for parents in terms of helping them understand and appreciate how teachers provide children with a positive early school experience and how they might work with teachers for the benefit of their children."
--ForWord Magazine
"Veteran teacher Judy Fujawa offers experience in her warm, perceptive (and often humorous) book of lists, each packed with a great deal of information and insight into very few words.
