Critics Review
This is a useful and informative book for those looking to deepen their understanding of the play specialist role, and to revise the important and powerful tool of play throughout childhood, particularly if the child has been ill or hospitalised. Therefore, I would recommend this as a book to borrow from the library or to have available within a department for students, newly qualified therapists or new starters to refer to. – British Journal of Occupational Therapy
