Description: "Children have a spontaneous interest in the world around them - whether the workings of the earth, sun, and stars, the nature of number, time and space, or the functioning of the body. Yet what is there in children's minds that is the key to their knowledge? This book examines what children can and do know, based on extensive studies from a range of different cultures ... Written by a renowned developmental psychologist, this book presents a fascinating exploration of children minds, and how we can better understand them"--Publisher's description.
