Susan Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hi, I have had recommended to me some new books for role play. At least, they were recommended before publication date and I recently came across them on a website--theres a series, each one with a different focus and they cost about £ 16 each BUT although I can remember the author, I cant trace them. Ive tried all sorts on google but with no luck. The author is Diane Bentley, who has written lots of different materials for children. PLEASE: Has anyone seen these books? Are they worth the expense? Who is the publisher? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Hi Susan I haven't seen the books by the author you mentioned but I did receive a catalogue today with books in for role play. They are published by David Fulton and are written by Jo Boulton and Judith Ackroyd. There are 3 books and include Cinderella, pirate adventures, the teddy bears picnic to name just 3. They are aimed at 3-7 years and are linked to the ELGs and NC requirements. They are £15 each. Another one in there was Meeting the Early Learning Goals Through Role Play. It is by Marie Aldridge and costs £19. I haven't actually seen the books so I can't comment on how good they are but they may be worth a look.
