"This interesting, informative and highly accessible book puts the agency of the child at the heart of becoming an emerging biologist. Written by an expert in the field of early childhood science education – Dr. Sue Dale Tunnicliffe, Reader in Science Education at UCL Institute of Education – this book demonstrates how young children can be scaffolded and supported to become emerging biologists, via a number of age-appropriate activities steeped in good pedagogical practice for science education in the early years." - Amanda McCrory, The Journal of Emergent Science
