			        		&quot;Dedicated to the importance of play in children&#x2019;s lives, Kilvington and Wood focus on how gender identity and sexuality are expressed in children&#x2019;s play and how adults can most constructively respond. Reviewing the research on gender, they have a healthy skepticism toward the partial findings and biases that may distort the various conflicting assertions. One of the strengths of the book is the regular insertion of questions for the reader to consider. Although the context is British, American educators can learn from the examples and concerns the authors offer. The challenge is to consider how one&#x2019;s own thinking and experience affect what one sees in children&#x2019;s play. Respect for the unique experience of childhood shines through each of the writers&#x2019; points. Often underestimated, the value of children&#x2019;s play is clearly demonstrated. As times change, ideas change. Adults need to observe carefully how children use the information that society gives them. Relatively brief, this is a book where reading the appendixes and the glossary is well worthwhile. Summing Up: Highly recommended: All readership levels.&quot; - S. Sugarman, Bennington College

			        		A lively and thought-provoking text that looks at why and how children inhabit or develop their gender and sexuality.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Fascinating and informed
  

*by J***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 28, 2017*









  
  
    This is an important and very accessible book. The authors have done an excellent job in reviewing and synthesizing research about gender and sexuality in children and their interaction with play - and with adults' responses. They set out theories and opinions in a clear way as they critique them. They draw on their wide experience in the field as practitioners and teachers, both in their discussion of issues and their liberal use of scenarios. These latter serve to develop thinking and discussion in readers. Overall it is a book with great relevance to practice, backed up by interesting and sound academic information, which is presented in a very balanced way. I recommend it highly for all people 'working' with children - and living with them too, parents. A great contribution to a subject area in which people have strong opinions, this book will surely help to develop  practices and attitudes which will widen and deepen understanding and enjoyment!
