Even though THE DEVELOPING CHILD (by Bee & Roberts Boyd) or Roz Charlesworth's CHILD DEVELOPMENT may off a little more thoroughness espeically in the infant/toddler area, Trawick-Smith's book will give you plenty of insight on Erikson, Piaget, Vygotsky, and the other big names of early child development. It doubles pretty well as a learning theories book aimed squarely at early childhood professionals, but I found myself wanting a little more explanation for each theory. He covers all of the concepts, but he somewhat rushes through them too much as if he can't overstep a certain page limit. It's good, though. Get if you really need it, however.
here's one for the library... hey, it makes you look smart.

I was required to read this book for a child development practicum course, and I was surprised that the text book was so easy to read and actually interesting. I usually borrow books and have no interest to hold on to them after I am done with the required work, but this book was worth buying. It presents information in an organized fashion and gives a personal anecdote with every chapter. I would recommend it as an addition to anyone's child development library, but then again, I did buy it with my parents money, being the poor college student that I am... anyhow; it's worth reading if you enjoy learning about child development (especially from a multicultural point of view.)
