Description

In this ethnographic study, the authors examine parents' and children's experience with learning resources, not only in schools and libraries, but also in sites ranging from doctors' waiting rooms to supermarkets. They investigate the ways in which governments, corporations, and communities are transforming early childhood education and creating an early learning industry.
