Piaget’s theories are complex and hard to know without interpretation. This is just so the book I needed as it was advertised. Often Piaget’s words were of his own coining…since he was a pioneer in child development….or he uses different
definitions not available in a dictionary. Also, this book uses examples from children’s literature to illustrate points. Brilliant resource.

At last, Piaget’s concepts are presented in an enjoyable, memorable manner. For decades, teachers have drilled themselves on mastering the concepts of this well-known psychologist as they diligently sought to help children make the most of their capacities to learn. This author clarifies many of Jean Piaget’s thoughts by using examples from children’s literature. It’s even illustrated with cartoons. Writers for children have used this book to help them connect their writing to memories of how they plotting as children.

This is a very nice book that uses children’s literature, well loved comics, and very excellent writing to demystify Piaget for beginners. I tried to read parts of Piaget’s How a Child Thinks and had to place it down. The authors recognize the difficulty in reading Piaget’s original works and have written this book for non psychology students. This was a very helpful book for a research paper on Piaget for a unique education graduate course.

The author provides very clear explanations of Piaget’s theory of plotting and play. Complete with comic strips about children, this book is a must for new teachers who are learning about Piaget and also for parents who do not know how children reckon and learn thru’ play. You won’t want to place the book down after picking it up, because the contents are so simple yet fascinating.

Piaget is the most influential figure in child psychology ever known. But, it can be rather daunting to plough through his monumental works. So we have books like A Piaget Primer that come to our rescue-books that help to clarify the concepts in simpler, more reader-friendly terms. Of course, we cannot guess such books to do justice to the scope and breadth of the original works, but for a thin volume like A Piaget Primer, it has done reasonably well to initiate the most essential concepts of Piaget’s theory on child development. Among the essential thoughts are assimilation and accommodation, various stages of development, play, language development, number concept, and moral development. There is also a last chapter on the implications and applications of Piagetian theory in the education of our young. What I find most impressive about this volume is its witty use of comics such as Peanut and tales such as Alice in the Wonderland to illustrate many of the confusing concepts. Wish I had this book when I was doing my psychology course.
