“The Play Prescription takes one of the most complex issues early childhood teachers face—the battle between theory and practice—and makes it relevant, accessible, and rewarding while emphasizing the value of play and investigative learning.”

“The Play Prescription is a rich and theoretically sound reference work for the essential role of play in the development of children—not as a vacation from learning and not as a reward for other ‘productive’ endeavors, but as the single most important support for normal child development.”

"Dr. Liese provides strong research and evidence to support the importance of play. Play is vital in the early years—as important as letter sounds, counting, and word recognition."
