From the reviews: "While this book is scholarly, it remains eminently readable, providing a valuable contribution to the field of critical discourse. ... Student teachers, emerging teachers and current practitioners will find this a very useful book which will be a clear asset to them as they prepare essays ... and ponder their own teaching practice. Reading this work will assist teachers to think about what assumptions they are making, what can be improved and what the underlying forces are, that are pervading education currently. ... Highly Recommended." (Evonne Phillips, hekupu.ac.nz, Vol. 3 (2), March, 2013) Critical Pedagogy for Early Childhood and Elementary Educators, by Lois McFadyen Christensen and Jerry Aldridge, is not only a must read for anyone who is interested in a more just and right education for all, but it should also be on the required reading list for those studying to be early childhood and elementary school teachers. The text is scholarly, practical, accessible, and a book whose time has come. James D. Kirylo Author of Paulo Freire: The Man from Recife
